About this episode

Sal Khan discusses the impact of AI on jobs and the innovative educational initiatives of Khan Academy.

Sal Khan built Khan Academy into a free education platform used by over 200 million people worldwide. Now he's writing a book called Job Shock, arguing AI could disrupt jobs faster than his own past predictions accounted for. Which jobs are already disappearing. Which ones are safe. What Khan Academy is doing internally with AI, including a $1.2M/year Anthropic bill. And Sal's new venture with TED and ETS: a $10,000, accreditation-pending degree built around durable skills — the kind AI still can't replicate.
