The AI ‘effect’: Duolingo cuts 10% of contractual jobs

Duolingo, the language-learning app, has cut 10% of its contractors, relying on generative AI for content creation. The move follows the CEO's announcement of increased reliance on AI. Duolingo had 600 full-time employees at the end of 2022. The reduction in jobs does not mean employees are being replaced by AI. The company uses AI to speed up text, speech, and image creation, and has introduced a premium tier called Duolingo Max.
