Before Praktika, Adam Turaev built chatbots for businesses. Now he is building AI tutors for the moment a learner knows the words but needs practice saying them.
In this podcast interview, Khan Academy founder Sal Khan discusses his forthcoming book 'Job Shock' and his growing concern that AI-driven automation will dislocate entire categories of workers—call center staff, drivers, and even software engineers, designers, and product managers—over the next three to five years. He argues that safe jobs are those that lean into human connection (teaching, nursing, hospitality, sales), describes how Khan Academy is transforming internally with AI agents (running a ~$1.2M/year Anthropic bill), and unveils the Constellation Institute, a new accredited program offering a full degree for under $10,000 that emphasizes 'durable skills' like communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking, co-designed with employers such as McKinsey, Bain, Google, Microsoft, Replit, and Accenture.
