Bill Gates’ latest book recommendation delves into the intersection of artificial intelligence and education. The Microsoft co-founder praised “Brave New Words: How AI Will Revolutionize Education (And Why That’s a Good Thing),” written by Sal Khan, founder and CEO of Khan Academy. Gates emphasized that this book is a must-read for anyone passionate about education.
On social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Gates wrote, “If you’re passionate about education, you need to read this book. Sal offers a compelling vision for harnessing AI to expand opportunity for all.”
The book explores how AI-powered systems like ChatGPT can revolutionize learning and teaching by assisting overworked teachers and personalizing lessons. In a podcast with Sal Khan, Gates highlighted AI tutoring’s potential to close the education gap, particularly for low-income students in developing countries.
“I do think AI will be like a great high school teacher who really marks your essay, and you go back and think, ‘OK, I need to step up there,’” Gates said. He added, “In the next 10 years, these new tools can both close the gap and raise the overall level of achievement.”
