All of the homeschool parents I know rave about Khan Academy, particularly parents that could use some brushing up on their math and science skills.

It's not hard to find tons of homeschool resources recommending their program as a good addition to at-home curriculums.

But Khan Academy is evolving.

Sal Khan, the founder and CEO of Khan Academy excitedly announced the creation of Khanmigo, the company's new all AI tutor powered by ChatGPT.

Of course there were some immediate concerns, especially about ChatGPT's propensity to be confidently wrong.

I've personally seen it try to analyze a simple chart with two variables, essentially an either/or scenario, and invent entirely new variables for the chart with astronomically wrong statistics.

But Khan says that Khanmigo isn't an out-of-the-box iteration of ChatGPT. He says that they've added their own "secret sauce" to avoid math errors.

"I'd be surprised if anyone has worked harder on this than we have," Khan said.

Still, he also warns that the chatbot isn't perfect and is still prone to hallucinations.

Given the additional propensity of AIs to recommend suicide to users, and yes ChatGPT is guilty of recommending suicide too, I would definitely be leery of leaving kids alone with the thing.

Right now Khanmigo is being tested in public schools in Hobart, Indiana and Newark, New Jersey.

Yes, Newark is the same New Jersey city that didn't know the United States of Kailasa was a nation made up by a wanted criminal when they became "sister cities."

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that their educational system is probably not the best market to beta test ChatGPT errors in the new tutoring system.

But maybe that's the point.

As always, parents, please stay aware of what your children are into--even resources that used to be "safe" to use.
