Overview

• Duolingo has officially integrated artificial intelligence into its core operations, impacting content creation, hiring, and performance evaluations.
• AI proficiency is now a key criterion for both recruitment and employee assessments at the company.
• Departments will only expand teams when tasks cannot be automated, and external contracts for automatable work will be phased out.
• Employees are encouraged to focus on creative and complex problem-solving tasks, with AI positioned as a tool to enhance their roles rather than replace them.
• This move follows a similar AI-focused strategy announced by Shopify in early April, reflecting a broader trend of AI adoption across the tech industry.
