“Duolingo will gradually stop using contractors to do a job that artificial intelligence can deal with,” according to a comprehensive email sent by the co -founder and CEO Luis von Ahn, announced that the company will be “the first Amnesty International.” Email was published on Duolingo LinkedIn account.
According to Von AHN, being “AI-FIRST” means that the company “will need to rethink a lot of how we work” and that “making slight adjustments to the systems designed for humans will not get us there.” As part of this transformation, the company will present “some constructive restrictions”, including the changes that occur in how it works with contractors, and is looking for artificial intelligence in appointment and in performance reviews, and that “the number of employees will not be given unless the team is unable to run more of their work.”
Von Ahn says that “Duolingo will remain a company that deeply concerns its employees” and that “this is not related to the replacement of diodes with AI”. Instead, he says the changes “about removing bottlenecks” so that employees can “focus on creative work and real problems, not frequent tasks.”
“Amnesty International is not just a production boost,” says von Ahn. “It helps us to approach our mission. To teach well, we need to create a huge amount of content, and do so manually does not expand. One of the best decisions we have taken recently is to replace the process of creating slow manual content with one -backed intelligence. Without AI, it will take decades through our content for more learners.
Von Ahn email, CEO of Toobi Lütke, CEO of Memo Shopify to employees and recently Online subscriber. In that memo, Lütke said that before the difference required more resources or resources, they needed to show “why they couldn’t get what they want to do using artificial intelligence.”
