Duolingo CEO Luis von Ahn announced a strategic pivot toward artificial intelligence in operational workflows. The language platform will progressively eliminate contractor roles for tasks suitable for automation, according to an internal memo shared company-wide and later published on LinkedIn.

Von Ahn emphasized the transition focuses on removing productivity bottlenecks rather than workforce reduction. "Duolingo remains committed to employee welfare," he stated, clarifying the initiative aims to redirect human capital toward creative problem-solving by offloading repetitive functions. The memo cited recent operational restructuring as a prototype for this AI-driven efficiency model.
