Duolingo CEO Luis von Ahn announced the company is becoming “AI-first,” aiming to automate tasks AI can handle and reduce reliance on contractors. Future hiring, performance reviews, and headcount decisions will prioritize AI use. The goal is to boost productivity, scale content creation, and let employees focus on creative, high-impact work. Despite the shift, Duolingo says it remains committed to supporting and training its staff.
