Oh my gosh I've been wanting to have this guy on my podcast for literally 10 years ever since I

started this podcast. I am so impressed with him and he speaks about a subject near and dear to my heart.

So Salman Khan, Sal Khan, is the creator of the Khan Academy,

which was really the first big online academy.

It was to learn math, coding, all these things.

And there was generating people who really

learned the topics as opposed to people who go all through 10 years of school and never learn these topics at all

or the schools fail to teach them appropriately, the Khan Academy really seemed to understand education and it became this huge thing.

150 million students have gone through the Khan Academy or use it every month or that

number of registered users. Salman-Con, Sal-Con, and he just wrote the book about how AI

will revolutionize education. The book is called Brave New Words,

How AI will revolutionize education and why that's a good thing.

And he addresses how to use AI with education, whether you're a student, teacher, employer, it was so valuable in terms of understanding

not only education, but AI and how we can use A on our lives and it addresses all the fears people are having right now about AI and its role in

creativity and learning and will it replace jobs or will it make it easier to get a job.

So brave new words, how AI will revolutionize education

and why that's a good thing. I finally got to interview Sal Khan about the

Khan Academy and AI and I learned so much and I hope you will as well.

This isn't your average business podcast and he's not your average host. This is the James Altager show. Sal can I start up by asking you a question that is peripherally related to the book, but you do mention this towards the end of the book, which is there was one line that I was curious about, and it was like a personal thing, but you brought it up in the book.

Sure. So you mentioned that you thought your dad, you didn't really know, you met him.

He left early, your parents separated when you were very young, and you only met him once,

you know, and he passed away when you were around 14 years old, but you said he probably suffered from depression, and I was curious why you thought that.
