On Sept. 10, Sal Khan, founder of Khan Academy, spoke to a packed Harvey Mudd’s Shanahan Auditorium. Kicking off the annual Nelson Distinguished Speaker Series on AI and learning, Khan discussed how AI, when deployed thoughtfully, can enhance learning for students and help teachers. He introduced Khan Academy’s AI-powered learning tool Khanmigo, explaining how the tool acts as a thoughtful tutor, guiding students toward the right approach rather than simply giving answers.
