“Salman Khan has long been on the cutting edge of education. The book is a timely masterclass for anyone interested in the future of learning in the AI era.”—Bill Gates (Microsoft)

Lavin speaker Salman Khan, the visionary behind educational nonprofit Khan Academy, has spent over a decade using technology to make a world-class education accessible to over 150 million students. Now, with the advent of generative AI like ChatGPT, he’s turning his focus towards transforming the way we learn through the power of AI.

Sal was one of the first people to gain access to OpenAI’s GPT tools. He was personally invited by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to experiment with the technology—months before ChatGPT was even launched. He’s since implemented these tools into Khan Academy through personalized AI tutors which help turn struggling students into proficient ones and proficient students into superstars. His TED Talk on AI and education was one of the top 10 most watched of the year (at over 3 million views).

In talks, Sal draws on his vital new book, Brave New Words (out this week), to offer a practical and forward-looking roadmap to help us navigate this exciting new world. He dives into what this technology means for us: teachers, guidance counselors, hiring managers, and more. And he shares actionable strategies (like using AI to make subject matter come alive or to hold us accountable to our goals) that we can put into practice today to help our students and team members unlock their full potential.

Brave New Words is “the most fascinating and important account of how AI will transform the way we learn” (Walter Isaacson, Steve Jobs) and “a gripping guide to the future of learning” (Adam Grant, Think Again). Sam Altman says that Sal “provides an invaluable guide for those seeking to understand and shape AI for good.” Angela Duckworth (Grit) writes: “Leaps forward in generative AI can and should change the way all of us learn. And I can think of no better guide to show us the way than Salman Khan.”
