Duolingo Embraces AI-First Approach, Expands Chess Course
Duolingo, the popular language learning platform, is shifting towards an 'AI-first' approach, reducing its reliance on contractors for tasks that can now be handled by AI. Meanwhile, entries are open for the ETIH Innovation Awards 2026, celebrating excellence in global education technology.
Duolingo's Chess course, initially launched at Duocon 2025, is now available to a wider audience worldwide. The course has expanded to Android devices and will soon introduce player-versus-player capabilities on iOS. This move aims to bridge the gap between language skills and opportunities for users.
The platform's AI-powered Video Call feature, currently available in nine popular courses, offers real-time feedback and post-call reviews. Users can now add their Duolingo Score to their LinkedIn profiles, further integrating language learning into professional development.
The ETIH Innovation Awards 2026, open to organizations across the UK, the Americas, and internationally, focus on workforce development, AI integration, and innovative learning solutions. Winners will be announced on 14 January 2026 and featured in the first print magazine of the awards.
Duolingo's advancements in AI integration and course accessibility demonstrate its commitment to making language learning more accessible and engaging. The ETIH Innovation Awards 2026, with its global reach and focus on education technology, promises to recognize and showcase the best in the field.
