""Higher education has served many, many people very, very well. And we think there's many good reasons to go to a traditional university, but not everyone has access to those opportunities.""
""On top of that, the world is changing very, very, very fast. We want to make sure that there's ways even for people with traditional degrees to continue to reskill to supplement those degrees to make sure that they are optimally prepared for an ever-changing future.""
""The program will launch with a bachelor's in applied AI and expand over time, targeting everyone from recent graduates to mid-career professionals-especially those shut out of traditional universities or looking to layer in-demand tech skills onto an existing degree.""
The Khan TED Institute, a collaboration between Khan Academy, TED, and ETS, will launch a low-cost, AI-focused degree aimed at expanding access to higher education. Sal Khan emphasizes the need for alternative educational pathways as traditional universities may not be accessible to everyone. The program will start with a bachelor's in applied AI, costing under $10,000, significantly less than elite institutions. The initiative targets recent graduates and mid-career professionals, aiming to align education with the evolving job market without replacing traditional degrees.
