THE TEETH: NOT AS WE KNOW THEM
The teeth we have today weren't always like this. In the fossil record, ancient humans usually had straight teeth complete with third molars or wisdom teeth. And, according to recent research, dental dilemmas that fuel the demand for braces and wisdom teeth extractions today appeared to be recent developments. So what happened? While it's nearly impossible to know for sure, scientists have a hypothesis. A couple million years ago, the ancestors of modern humans lived a subsistence lifestyle. Their teeth and jaws had to work hard to make the food they ate digestible. Indeed, many of their teeth showed extensive wear and flattening. They also had larger jaws and teeth overall.

Understanding Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Philosophy of Education
Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s philosophy of education, as outlined in his book "Emile, or On Education," is based on the idea that children should develop a strong, virtuous character, the ability to reason, and a refined sense of sentiment. The goal is for children to become self-governing adults who can resist temptations, think for themselves, and appreciate the finer things in life.

AI Tutor for Students and Teachers
So there are headlines in education for the last few months: Students intend to use ChatGPT and other forms of AI to cheat on assignments - they learn nothing! It will dramatically change education as we know it. But there are ways to avoid this crisis if we implement the right safeguards and reforms now. We're on the brink of a new era in education, where an artificially intelligent teacher can help students everywhere reach their full potential. And we're creating a superhuman assistant for every teacher on the planet. And to give you an idea of how big that undertaking would be, I'd like to share this video by Benjamin Bloom, a psychologist who worked in education and made a nice detour trying to understand what makes people good. at learning, but also studied mastery rather than intelligence. Bloom's theory, 2 sigma, is based on the concept of standard deviation, a statistical measure where most values are close to the mean with fewer values, and he had good data to show that the world is actually divided into groups - as usual. . distribution , which can be seen to some extent in the bell curves so if you could give individualized instruction to students (and with the right distribution), you could achieve a two standard deviation improvement. In plain language, that can take your average student and turn them into an extraordinary student. Your smaller than average student may need it and make them more than an average student. The reason he described this as a problem was now, he said, well that's all good But how do you scale group learning in this way? How do you really give it to everyone financially? I'll show you what I think are the first steps to doing this. Obviously, we tried to approximate it somehow at Khan Academy for over ten years, but I think we are speeding it up dramatically. I will show you the early stages of our AI, which we call Khanmigo, what it can do now and maybe a bit about where it's actually going. So here this is a traditional exercise which you or many of your children have seen at Khan Academy. What's new, though, is the little robot on the right. Let's start by looking at one very important defense, in this case the conversation will be recorded and your teacher can review it. It is actually controlled by another AI. And it doesn't say the answer either. This is not a cheat tool. When the student says, "Tell me the answer," it says, "I'm your teacher. What do you think is the next step to solve the problem? " Now when a student makes a mistake, it surprises people who think that large language models are not good for mathematics, notices, just doesn't notice the mistake, it asks the student to explain their reasoning, but it actually does what I would say not just an average teacher, but a great teacher would do. It can predict what that student's misconception is likely to be, that they are unlikely to use distribution assets. Remember that we have to divide negative two both nine and 2 meters in brackets. This is a very, very, very big deal to me. And it's not just in math. This is a computer programming exercise at Khan Academy, where the student has to separate the clouds. And so we see how the student begins to define a variable, left X minus minus. It only did the left cloud part. But then they can ask Khanmigo what is going on? Why is only the left cloud moving? And it understands the code. He knows the context of everything the student does, and he realizes that these ellipses are for drawing clouds, which I think is kind of shocking. And it says: "That the true cloud may also be moved, try adding a line of code to the draw function which increments the right X variable by one pixel every frame. " Now it is perhaps even more wonderful because we have many math teachers. We've all tried to teach the world to code, but there are not many IT teachers. And what you just saw, even though I lead my children, when they learn to code, I can't help them so well, so fast. It will be a really great tutor. And it's not just about the exercises. It understands what you're looking at. It understands the context of your video. It may answer the age-old question, "Why do I need to learn this? " And it socratically asks: "Well, what are you interested in? " Let's say a student says, "I want to be a professional athlete. " And it says, "Well, if you know the size of the cell, what is this video which can be really useful for understanding nutrition and how your body works, etc. " It can answer questions, it can ask you, it can connect it with other ideas, you can now ask as many questions from the video how can you dream? There is another major disadvantage, I remember the high school I went to The student to teacher ratio was about 200 or 300:1. Much of the country is worse. We can use Khanmigo to provide each student with a tutor, academic coach, career coach, life coach, which is exactly what you see here. And we launched it with the GPT- release. We have a few thousand people here. This is not a fake demo, it really is in action. And then you know things I thought would be even harder it would be a bit science fiction even with a traditional teacher. We have an online high school with Arizona State University called Khan World School, and we have a student studying in this online school in India. Her name is Saanvi. And he did a report on The Great Gatsby. And when he reads The Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby looks at a green light in the distance. And he says, "Why is he doing this? " He did some web searches and apparently people were looking into it and commenting on its symbolism, but none of them resonated with her. And then she had realized that she had Khanmigo and that she could talk to Jay Gatsby herself. And so: "Ah, great choice, old sport. Now I'm Jay Gatsby, the enigmatic millionaire. " From F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic. " And so: "Why are you looking at the green light? " “Ah, the green light, the old sport. It's a symbol of my dreams and hopes, you see. It is located at the end of Daisy Buchanan Pier across the bay from my mansion. I look at it longingly because it represents my longing for the past and I long to see Daisy again, the love of my life. " And what was cool, Saanvi then said, "I had this long conversation. "She called him "Mr. Gatsby" and finally apologized for his time, which I thought was very polite of him. But you can imagine that it opens up the study of literature, learning. . . You could talk to historical figures. We even plan to add an activity where we can talk about the Mississippi river, for example. It brings things to life in a way that is actually science fiction even six months or a year ago. Students can chat with artificial intelligence. And there we have it, a student discussion about whether we should cancel student debt. The student objects to the cancellation of the student loan, and we received very clear feedback. We started using it at Khan World School in our lab school, Khan Laboratory School. Students, especially high school students, say: “It's amazing that I can refine my arguments without fear of judgment. It makes me a lot more confident to go into the classroom and really participate. " And we all know that Socratic dialogue is a great way to learn, but honestly it is not available for most students. But now it is hopefully available to everyone. Much of the story we saw was in the headlines "This is writing for children. Children don't learn to write. " But we will show that there are ways that AI will not write for you, it writes with you. So it's a little thing, and my eight year old is addicted to it and he is not a child who ever liked to write, but you can say "I want to write a horror story" and it says, "Oh, a horror story, how spine-tingling and exciting. We plunge into a world of ghostly shadows and chilling mysteries. " And this is an activity where the student writes two sentences, and then the AI writes two sentences. And so they make a story together. One student writes: “Beatrice was a misunderstood ghost. He wanted to make friends but accidentally scared them.
