Duolingo replaced the contractor with AI this week and announced plans to become a “AI-FIRST” company. The journalist Brian Merchaant said, “It’s a signal that AI Jobs Crisis is here.
In fact, the merchant told the former Duo Ringo contractor that this is not even a new policy. The company cut about 10%of the contractor personnel at the end of 2023, and the merchant said that there was another cut in October 2024. In both cases, the contractor (first translator, writer) was replaced by AI.
Merchants also noted that the Atlantic reported that the university graduates recently reported abnormal high unemployment rates. One explanation? The Company can replace the entry -level white collar jobs with AI, or spending on AI can simply “congest” new employee spending.
The merchant is actually a series of management decisions that the executives who want to reduce labor costs and strengthen the control of the organization, “and” the reduction of the income of creative industries, freelancer artists, writers, artists, and simply employing a smaller human worker. “
“AI JOBS Crisis is not a kind of skynet-Esque Robot Jobs ApocalyPse.
