About this video

As the co-founder of Brilliant, Sue is building an AI tutor to help kids think for themselves. As a parent, I’m excited about how AI can personalize learning for my kids and support their teachers.

Sue shared where she thinks US education is falling short and showed me how her AI tutor helps a stuck student work through a problem. If you’re a parent, this episode is a must-watch.
