Looking to pick up a new language this year? Duolingo's new AI lessons will mainly benefit beginners, but you'll be able to tap into more advanced features in the coming months.

Even by Silicon Valley standards, Duolingo Inc. has set itself apart with its aggressive push to infuse artificial intelligence into all corners of its business while also openly acknowledging humans may no longer be needed for certain roles.

Following the CEO’s announcement that Duolingo would be ‘AI-first,’ the company is launching 148 new language courses. Duolingo is “more than doubling” the number of courses it has available, a feat it says was only possible because it used generative AI to help create them in “less than a year.”
