Are you building AI to work alongside people… or to quietly replace them?

One interesting thing I came across this week was that the CEO of Duolingo first declared intentions to use AI to replace contract workers in some positions. However, they later withdrew that comment, making it clear that AI will not replace its employees.

Ahh, this type of discrepancy appears to be happening more often, to be honest. The same thing happened to Klarna not long ago. That AI will take care of everything in one minute, and then, hold on: in reality, we still need human workers.

I would thus like to know what you think.

👉 Is your actual objective while creating or using AI to help people, making their tasks simpler, faster, and with greater quality?

👉 Or, even if that wasn't the initial plan, are we unintentionally approaching replacing them?

Personally, AI helps me with activities like content drafting and quick research in my own profession. It's really beneficial, but it also makes me think about what might happen in the future.

What about you? Where do you draw the line between automation that creates jobs and automation that does good? When leaders make audacious statements like "AI will take away jobs," how do you respond?
