7 predictions · 8 assertions · 2 opinions · 5 insights · 5 disclosures · every statement was checked. The predictions and assertions are the 15 claims: statements the public record can support or contradict. 6 are resolved, 4 are not yet assessed, and 5 name no date, number or outcome precise enough to check. Everything else (opinions, insights, what ifs, disclosures) can never be settled by the record, so it carries no assessment.

The record, in short

Their most notable supported claim

Prediction Held up
Sal Khan predicts most teachers will use AI for grading by 2024
“五年後にはほとんどの教師が生成案を使って授業計画、採点、進行状況報告、評価基準作成を行うのは安全だと思います。小さい、すでに来年の後半にそれが実現する可能性があります。”
Sal Khan Aug 17, 2023 ▶ 30:42 No Priors Ep. 28 | With Khan Academy’s Creator Sal Khan (Japanese Version)

Expressed certainty vs assessment result

none yet certainty 1
none yet certainty 2
100% certainty 3
100% certainty 4
none yet certainty 5

weighted support: a fully supported claim counts one, a partly supported claim counts half. Each filled bar is clickable and opens exactly those claims; "none yet" means nothing said at that certainty level has resolved yet

How they sound: not measured why? →

We measure speaking style by listening to the audio itself, and a fair number needs at least 2,000 words from one person on tape we have measured. There is too little of Sal Khan on measured tape to publish a rate. This says nothing about how they speak.
