Duolingo CEO says he's getting rid of contract employees and replacing them with AI

Duolingo employees can also expect their AI use to be graded in their performance reviews.
Duolingo CEO Luis von Ahn announced that the company is reducing its reliance on contract workers by replacing them with artificial intelligence, a move that has led to the layoff of around 10% of its contractors.

Von Ahn emphasized that this change is part of a broader industry trend towards automation, and while it results in job losses, it also allows the company to focus on more complex tasks that require human input. The decision has sparked a debate about the ethical implications of replacing human workers with AI, with some critics arguing that it prioritizes profit over people.
