What this pass recorded. Khan Academy is a free nonprofit learning site that children and parents use directly, and through schools. Its AI tutor Khanmigo (launched March 2023 and initially built on OpenAI's GPT-4) adds a new privacy question: children's chat conversations with an AI tutor, processed through an outside AI provider. No breach, regulator action or lawsuit was found this pass. However, the privacy policy and terms pages did not render for retrieval, so how Khanmigo chats are retained, shared with AI providers or shown to parents and teachers could not be checked.
