Duolingo, the world's most popular language learning platform, has taken a bold step: replacing some of its contract employees with Artificial Intelligence (AI). The result? 148 new language classes successfully launched — all designed by generative AI technology!
Duolingo's CEO, Luis von Ahn, emphasized:
> "This isn't about replacing humans, but removing barriers so we can do more."
With AI, the process of creating teaching materials becomes much faster and more efficient. Even according to their team, hundreds of classes would be impossible to create in less than a year without the help of AI.
Jessie Becker, Senior Director of Learning Design at Duolingo, said:
> "AI is not just a productivity tool. It is a new way to run a business."
More than just creating content, AI will be used in recruitment and performance evaluation processes. The team will only add employees if the work can no longer be automated.
This step reminds us of Duolingo's past approach that boldly prioritized mobile-first. Now, they are pioneers again — this time in the era of the AI revolution.
Why is this important for the crypto community?
This is proof that AI and automation are not the future — they are the present.
Like the world of Web3 and crypto, AI is also changing the way we work, do business, and educate. If you haven't joined the wave, now is the time!
