Duolingo has launched 148 new language courses developed with generative AI, marking its largest expansion of content to date and doubling its offerings. This rapid development reflects Duolingo's shift to an 'AI-first' strategy, which includes replacing contractors with AI for content creation. Co-founder Luis von Ahn noted the efficiency of AI, stating it allows the company to develop courses at unprecedented speed and quality. However, the approach has drawn criticism from users concerned about job losses and the ethical implications of AI in education.
Developing our first 100 courses took about 12 years, and now, in about a year, we're able to create and launch nearly 150 new courses.
AI isn't just a productivity boost; it helps us get closer to our mission. To teach well, we need to create a massive amount of content.
