Mr. Khan, a former special educator, testified that the software his company has developed is grounded in direct experience in education at all levels. Rather than reject artificial intelligence (AI), he advocates for shared standards and safe tools. According to Khan, these tools offer significant benefits, including reduced administrative burdens for teachers, more personalized learning, and enhanced student skill development.
