Khan Academy addresses the hallucination rate (inaccuracies) of AI tools like Khanmigo through several strategies. These include rigorous testing known as red teaming with OpenAI to identify and correct biases and inaccuracies, and using specific, research-based instructional prompts to guide the AI in producing high-quality outputs. For precise mathematical answers, supplementary tools like calculators are employed. The AI also draws from Khan Academy’s verified human-generated content to enhance accuracy. Additionally, teachers provide ongoing feedback to continually improve the AI’s performance. Khanmigo serves as an assistant, with teachers reviewing and adjusting AI-generated content to ensure it meets educational standards.
