Duolingo, the mobile language learning platform, has recently announced that its chief financial officer (CFO), Matt Skaruppa, will step down after nearly six years in the role.

Duolingo, the language learning app, will phase out contractor roles for tasks that artificial intelligence can handle, according to a recent internal email from cofounder and CEO Luis von Ahn announcing the company's shift to an "AI-first" approach. The message, posted on Duolingo's official LinkedIn account, outlines plans to restructure operations around AI capabilities.

Duolingo, the language-learning platform, has reported a significant increase in users, with a 216% surge in Americans learning Mandarin compared to the same period last year.
