I feel like this is another case of throwing AI in a non-AI-required problem. Khan Academy itself just hired people to make its videos at a very reasonable wage. Why would you need to add AI into the equation? If you wanted to, you could build a platform of basic video / whiteboard content creators at a very reasonable price point.

Humans could always write things down, but only the printing press changed the world.

No, humans couldn't always write things down (there was a whole lot of time that humanity existed and written language didn't), and writing things down changed the world quite a bit long before the printing press.
