Duolingo CEO Luis von Ahn said he has already spoken to employees internally but wanted to share the summary with the public. CEO Luis von Ahn wrote a memo to employees detailing the company's official "AI-first" approach and how, through "advances in generative AI," it was able to double its course offerings in record time. Naturally, the news didn't go over well with some Duolingo employees and contract workers. After several weeks of pushback, von Ahn has clarified his previous comments (while still committing to being "AI-first") with a post on LinkedIn. While Duolingo's CEO may be trying to calm employees' fears of being replaced by AI, Fiverr's CEO is definitely not.
