“Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.—Pablo Picasso”
Salman Khan, Brave New Words: How AI Will Revolutionize Education

“I realized that as thrilling as it would be to be an AI researcher now, it was even more exciting to think about how the technology could be applied to help human potential.”
Salman Khan, Brave New Words: How AI Will Revolutionize Education

“Despite being a nonprofit, we have been able to build a team that rivals those of the most resource-rich tech companies. Hundreds of incredibly talented people have committed a major part of their careers to be part of the Khan Academy team, often taking considerable pay cuts to do so. Thousands of volunteers all over the world have now translated Khan Academy into over fifty languages. Inspirational leaders like Bill Gates, Reed Hastings, and Elon Musk have become some of our biggest supporters and advocates. This journey seems so serendipitous that it has become something of an inside joke among the Khan Academy team that perhaps benevolent aliens are helping us so that, through education, we can prepare humanity for first contact.”
Salman Khan, Brave New Words: How AI Will Revolutionize Education

“You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water. —Rabindranath Tagore”
Salman Khan, Brave New Words: How AI Will Revolutionize Education

“Through the years, many people have asked me why I set up Khan Academy as a nonprofit. After all, my previous career was very for-profit, and I live in the middle of Silicon Valley, where scalable tech-enabled solutions can be worth a lot of money. Many have been skeptical whether a nonprofit could even compete with for-profit companies. There were two notions I couldn’t get out of my head, however. First, I tend to believe in market forces, but there are a few sectors—namely, education and health care—where the outcomes of market forces don’t always align with our values. Education and health care are two areas where our shared values tell us that, ideally, family resources shouldn’t be a limiting factor in accessing the best possible opportunities. Most of us believe that every mind and life deserves to reach its full potential.”
Salman Khan, Brave New Words: How AI Will Revolutionize Education
