We’ve heard from Sal Kahn Academy previously about their use of AI and Khanmigo tutoring. Here’s an update interview about where things stand at the end of April in 2025.
When Khan Academy launched Khanmigo, Salman Khan thought they might reach 100k users by 2025. Today, they’re at 1.4 million.
🎧 Sal joined us on Unsupervised Learning to talk about AI’s role in education— from the vantage point of someone deploying it at scale. As founder of Khan Academy, he’s overseen the rollout of AI tools to over a million teachers and students, giving him a front-row seat to what’s actually working in classrooms.
