Duolingo's CEO says the company backtracked on evaluating AI use in performance reviews
""At the end, we backtracked, and we said no. The most important thing in your performance is that you are doing whatever your job is as well as possible. A lot of times, AI can help you with that, but if it can't, I'm not going to force you to do that.""
""It felt like, rather than being held accountable for the actual outcome, we were trying to just push something that in some cases did not fit.""
Duolingo's CEO, Luis von Ahn, announced that AI usage will not be a factor in employee performance reviews. Initially, the company evaluated AI use, but employees questioned its necessity. The CEO emphasized that the primary focus should be on job performance rather than mandatory AI usage. Duolingo will still track AI use in hiring and gradually reduce contractor roles for tasks AI can perform. Despite initial plans, the company clarified that AI will not replace employees' roles, responding to backlash over the memo.
