Using Khanmigo for help with math exercises

- [Instructor] All right, so what we're gonna do in this video is understand how we can use Khanmigo to help us as we learn on Khan Academy. So what you see here is a math exercise on Khan Academy, which I'm sure you have grown to love and appreciate. And what we also see here is Khanmigo. So I have a Teacher account, so first, let me actually put this into Student mode, just like that. You don't have that switch, only your teacher does. But now, Khanmigo is gonna do the same thing for me that it would do for you. So the first thing to appreciate is that Khanmigo is not here for you to cheat. So if I say, "Tell me the answer," it knows the answer, but it's not going to tell it to us, or it shouldn't tell it to us. "I'm here to help you learn, not just give you answers. Let's start with the first step. Do you know how to make the fractions have the same bottom number?" So it's pushing us in the right direction. Now, I could say, "Do you mean denominator?" "Yes, that's right. The bottom number is the denominator. Can you make these denominators the same for these fractions?" But I want you to appreciate that you can talk to Khanmigo the way that you might talk to a tutor or a friend who you're trying to go to for help. Once again, not a friend that's gonna do the problem for you, but one that can help you do the problem. Sure, I can make them both, let's say, 100. "Now, can you add the top numbers, also known as the numerators, together?" So let me make a mistake here. 24. And I am going to put that over 100, which is not the right answer. And Khanmigo says, "Hmm, let's check that. You have 13 over 100, and 110 over 100, what do you get when you add the numerators?" So 13 plus 110 is 123, so let's say, 122 over 100. "Close but not quite. Try again. Add 13 and 110. What do you get?" 123. "That's it. Now, can you write that as a fraction with 100 as the denominator?" And I'm gonna frustrate it 'cause we know the answer's 123 over 100, but let me just put 123 over 101. "Almost there. You added the numerators right, but the denominator should stay as 100. Can you try again?" Once again, this is how you can work with Khanmigo. Now, I do want to warn you. The type of artificial intelligence that this uses, as you can see, it can do the math, it's understanding what's going on, but we also have written here that Khanmigo can make mistakes sometimes. So this is something that we at Khan Academy are working on continually, but there are situations where Khanmigo might think the problem has changed or think you're doing it right, but you're not. Or vice versa, where it's correcting you even if you are doing it right. This should not be happening very often. But I wanna make it very clear that it is possible. Just like it's if you were talking to a friend and your friend is giving you an explanation and you suspect that maybe your friend isn't explaining it to you in the best possible way, or they are misunderstanding what you are trying to understand, then I would raise my hand and try to talk to your teacher because you don't want to keep engaging if it is going in a place that is not useful for you. This is very similar if you were to do a web search looking for information, and you're not sure if the webpage is giving you the right explanation. You should talk to your teacher. Do the same thing with artificial intelligence. It can be a very useful tool, but you shouldn't assume that it is perfect.
