What if your child had a kind, judgment-free learning companion—available anytime they needed help? That’s exactly what’s starting to happen in classrooms using AI. In this episode, we talk with Kanishka Seth, a teacher and EdTech leader at Khan Lab School, who works just one floor below the Khan Academy team and sees firsthand how AI is showing up in real learning spaces.
Kanishka shares how Khanmigo, Khan Academy’s AI-powered tool, acts like a thoughtful study buddy—asking questions instead of giving answers, offering feedback, and creating a safe space where kids can learn without fear of being wrong. As she puts it, “It’s like a peer who’s full of energy, always kind, and there to help them think through their ideas.”
If you're wondering how AI fits into your child’s education, this episode is for you. Kanishka’s perspective is both grounded and hopeful. She compares AI to a flashlight: it helps you see more clearly, but your child still needs to choose the direction.
You’ll also hear stories of real student projects. It’s not about shortcuts—it’s about opening up space for kids to explore, imagine, and grow.
Listen now—you’re not alone on this journey.
