Salman Khan is a pioneer of online learning who revolutionised global education by founding Khan Academy in 2008. The free, non-profit platform has grown to feature a library of over 10,000 video lectures. Khan detailed his vision for systemic education reform in his international bestseller, The One World Schoolhouse, and has actively spearheaded the integration of generative AI into global classrooms via his educational chatbot, Khanmigo. Expanding his institutional footprint, TED announced in October 2025 that Khan would become its new "Vision Steward" and board member. Khan launched the Khan TED Institute in April 2026, to offer a radically low-cost, AI-focused, competency-based degree programme designed to disrupt traditional higher education. The official Khan Academy YouTube channel anchors his digital legacy, amassing 9.39 million subscribers and over 2 billion cumulative views.
