Event Date
For his next colloquium, Chancellor Gary S. May will speak to Sal Khan, the founder and CEO of Khan Academy and an online educator who has become a leading voice in discussions about how AI should be used in education.
Khan got his start in online education by creating tutoring videos for friends and family, but when they gained popularity online he left his job as a hedge fund analyst and formed Khan Academy. The nonprofit, incorporated in 2008, now provides free courses in math, writing, SAT prep and more.
In recent years, Khan has focused on the disruption AI will have on the economy and in education, and published the book Brave New Words: How AI Will Revolutionize Education (and Why That's a Good Thing) in 2024.
May and Khan will speak virtually on April 6 as part of the Chancellor’s Colloquium Distinguished Speaker Series, and attendees are encouraged to submit questions before the event. The event is free and open to all.
