- Following backlash to statements that Duolingo will be AI-first, threatening jobs in the process, CEO Luis von Ahn has tried to walk back his statement.
- Unfortunately, the CEO doesn’t walk back any of the key points he originally outlined, choosing instead to try, and fail to placate the maddening crowd.
- Unfortunately the PR team may soon be replaced by AI as this latest statement has done anything but instil confidence in the firm’s users.

I don’t know how AI is going to change the employment. But it is going to shake things up a lot.
A 2024 study from MIT showed that AI was able to perform around 6% of all of the jobs in the world better than humans.
Another study by OpenAI found that their O3 model could perform 8% of all freelancing jobs without human supervision.
AI coming. It’s coming for some jobs. I think translation is one of those jobs.
That being said, it was exceptionally stupid of the CEO to say that and sink all of his public image. At the end of the day, if AI can do what their contractors can do, nobody would need duo lingo.
