The 2024 Nelson Series, Learning in the Age of AI, is an exploration of the complex relationship between human and machine learning. Industry experts will help us make sense of how people learn in the age of AI.

Sal Khan, founder and CEO of Khan Academy, will begin the series with the talk "AI Won't Destroy Education, It'll Save It." After the explosion of AI, teachers and parents around the world worried that it would completely undermine education as we know it. But Khan says that doesn’t have to be the case. “We’re at the cusp of using AI for the biggest positive transformation that education has ever seen,” he says. Khan uses his extensive experience and thorough research to break down how to use AI in education, from giving every student an amazing personal tutor and every teacher an intelligent teaching assistant, to exploring different methods of learning for students around the world.

Khan Academy is a nonprofit educational organization that offers free lessons in math, science and humanities, as well as tools for parents, teachers and districts to track student progress. Khan Academy is piloting an AI guide called Khanmigo that is a tutor and teaching assistant. Khan holds three degrees from MIT and an MBA from Harvard. He has been profiled by 60 Minutes and was recognized as one of TIME's 100 Most Influential People in the World.
