Sal Kahn recently prepared a TED talk explaining his plans for Kahnmigo. This addition to the Kahn Academy provides AI-powered support for learners and educators. My interest was in Kahn’s description of the potential of this addition as a student for learners. He makes similar arguments to my own thinking. For example, he uses Bloom’s two-sigma argument to explain why tutoring is potentially the most productive way to improve learning. Of course, Bloom was describing human tutors.
I have written about AI as a tutor myself and provide some suggestions for using ChatPDF as a tutor.
