Just a day after announcing its shift to an "AI-first" strategy -- which includes phasing out contract workers in favor of automation -- Duolingo revealed it is more than doubling its course offerings by launching 148 new language courses. The Verge reports: The company said today that it's launching 148 new language courses. "This launch makes Duolingo's seven most popular non-English languages -- Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Mandarin -- available to all 28 supported user interface (UI) languages, dramatically expanding learning options for over a billion potential learners worldwide," the company writes. Duolingo says that building one new course historically has taken "years," but the company was able to build this new suite of courses more quickly "through advances in generative AI, shared content systems, and internal tooling." The new approach is internally called "shared content," and the company says it allows employees to make a base course and quickly customize it for "dozens" of different languages. "Now, by using generative AI to create and validate content, we're able to focus our expertise where it's most impactful, ensuring every course meets Duolingo's rigorous quality standards," Duolingo's senior director of learning design, Jessie Becker, says in a statement.
