Duolingo said it just doubled its language courses thanks to AI
Briefly

Duolingo has introduced 148 new language courses in response to its 'AI-first' strategy, driven by generative AI technology. This initiative dramatically enhances the learning potential for users worldwide, particularly for speakers of its seven most popular non-English languages. The use of an innovative shared content system allows for the rapid development of these courses, a process that previously took years. The company aims to gradually phase out human contractors for tasks that AI can manage, ensuring all courses meet high-quality standards through AI-enhanced content validation.
Duolingo's CEO announced a shift to an 'AI-first' model, allowing the launch of 148 new language courses drastically expanding learning options for over a billion users.
With generative AI, Duolingo was able to develop 148 new courses in less than a year, allowing for a rapid scaling of available language options.
This shift to 'AI-first' means Duolingo can create and validate content more effectively, minimizing reliance on contractors while maintaining quality in each course.
The company emphasizes that this new model not only increases efficiency but also allows it to uphold rigorous quality standards across all newly launched courses.
