  • Anderson Cooper headed back to school with Sal Khan, the founder of Khan Academy, and creator of the AI tutor Khanmigo. The tool is helping students and teachers alike, and evaluating Cooper's middle school essay.

The article from CBS News discusses Khanmigo, an AI-powered teaching assistant developed by Khan Academy, which is being integrated into classrooms to enhance learning. Khanmigo, which operates on a modified version of the technology behind ChatGPT, aims to provide personalized tutoring, help with lesson planning, and offer real-time feedback to both students and teachers. It engages students by asking probing questions, encouraging them to think critically rather than just providing answers. Teachers like Stephanie Franco from a school in California have found Khanmigo useful for creating lesson plans and managing classroom activities, although it's not without its challenges, such as occasional inaccuracies or the need for human oversight to ensure educational quality. The AI tool is part of a broader initiative to leverage AI in education to make learning more interactive and tailored to individual student needs, with ongoing adjustments to improve its effectiveness and reliability.
