Duolingo’s CEO has stated that the company intends to job” AI-first.”
According to CEO Luis von Ahn, this means the speech learning app will “gradually stop using contractors to perform work that AI is handle.”
Before being uploaded to the Duolingo LinkedIn profile, the message was sent via email to all employees.
Trotz of this lofty say, von Ahn made it abundantly clear that” Duolingo will continue to be a business that values its people” and that “it’s not about replacing Duos with AI.”
He says the goal is to get rid of what he refers to as obstacles so that people can concentrate on more original ideas and problems. The goal is to prevent people workers from putting in long hours on tedious tasks.
A new move to change slower, regular content creation with AI, which the CEO claimed may have taken the company years to scale up then, was a particular example given in the memo.
Von Ahn makes a statement that explains how the adoption of AI across the enterprise might job, noting that “making small adjustments to devices designed for people didn’t get us there. In many cases, we’ll have to start from scratch.
It will take time to understand our codebase, and some things, like getting AI to understand our codebase, will not be rebuilt immediately. We didn’t wait until the tech is flawless, though. We’d rather move quickly and occasionally get minor value errors than we do it slowly and unprepared.
Tobi Lütke, the CEO of Shopify, recently shared a similar letter. He made the point of saying that before employees can require more resources or help, they had first explain why they didn’t achieve their goals currently using AI in this information.
In the short-term at least, as a new content suggested, AI might be a lucrative field to work in. Entry-level positions pay more than double the average wage, with average salaries at 77 % higher than those at different positions.
