Duolingo teaches with robots: he will replace his employees, a subcontract AI

The teaching that will not be a person is what Duolingo will give you in the near future, since the General Director of the company Luis von AN announced that the company will gradually stop using the contractors to perform work with which II can handle it, ”according to the electronic letter sent and published in the Duolingo Linkedinin account.

According to von Anna, to be “the first in AI” means that the company “will have to rethink most of how we work”, and that “making small adjustments in systems intended for people will not bring us there.” As part of the change, the company will introduce “some constructive restrictions”, including changes in how it works with contractors, in search of the use of AI when hiring and in evaluating effectiveness, and that “the number of staff will occur only if the team cannot automate more of their work.”

Nevertheless, Duolingo CEO wants to clarify in his specific vision, which is not related to the replacement of people with AI.

“Duolingo will still be a company that cares deeply about its employees,” and that “it is not about replacing duets with AI.” On the other hand, he says that the changes “to eliminate narrow places” so that employees can “focus on creative work and real problems, and not in repeating tasks”.

In another phrase, the maximum chief of the Green Pajarit company confirmed that AI is just a tool for improving processes.

“AI is not just a impulse of productivity,” says von An. “It helps us to get closer to our mission. To learn well, we need to create a lot of content and do it manually not to scale it. One of the best decisions that we recently made was to replace the slow guide to the process and the creation of content by one controlled AI. Without AI, we will need decades to expand our content to more students. We are obliged to get this content to our students as soon as possible. ”
