"“Read this book. It’s the most fascinating and important account of how AI will transform the way we learn. Salman Khan is leading the way into an era in which every student—and everyone else—will have a personal tutor that will do for us what Aristotle did for Alexander the Great.” —Walter Isaacson, #1 New York Times bestselling author “A gripping guide to the future of learning. Instead of living in fear of AI, Salman Khan lays out a clear-eyed, compelling vision to empower teachers, enliven classrooms, and unlock potential in students. This book is required reading for everyone who cares about education.” —Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Hidden Potential and Think Again, and host of the podcast Re:Thinking “It’s often said that we yearn for change yet cling to the familiar. Nowhere has this been more true nor more tragic than in the field of education. Now is the time to embrace change, and to do so bravely, as Salman Khan argues in this timely treatise on AI. Leaps forward in generative AI can and should change the way all of us learn. And I can think of no better guide to show us the way than Salman Khan.” —Angela Duckworth, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Grit: The Power and Passion of Perseverance ""Salman Khan provides an invaluable guide for those seeking to understand and shape AI for good. This is a book about AI, education, and work, but the ideas are transferable to every domain."" —Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI “There’s no doubt in my mind that Salman Khan is the leading thinker about education in the age of AI. In Brave New Words, he offers deep insights into how AI can be a catalyst for creativity and a tool for unleashing student potential. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the future of learning and technology.” —Francis Ford Coppola, Academy Award–winning filmmaker “In Brave New Words, Salman Khan challenges us to reimagine the future of education in an AI-driven era. His book is not only insightful but also inspiring, demonstrating the enormous potential of technology to empower both learners and educators. Khan’s expertise and passion make this a compelling read for anyone invested in the future of education.” —Arne Duncan, former United States Secretary of Education “Education is the route to professional and personal fulfilment, a liberation of the mind from ignorance and a pathway to achievement. AI has today opened this possibility in new and profound ways. And rather than fear this change, by embracing it everyone can have a world-class tutor providing learning built around the needs of every individual. This requires a bold leap of imagination in what is possible in education. But as Salman Khan brilliantly lays out, this is a necessary and healthy change to a status quo that is too stuck in the past. It is a leap we must take.” —Tony Blair, former prime minister of the United Kingdom “Salman Khan’s Brave New Words is a gift to educators worldwide. This is a chance to learn from one of the world’s most visionary educators and technology entrepreneurs about how AI enables us to drive educational equity and transformation.” —Wendy Kopp, CEO and cofounder of Teach for All"
