In my exclusive article for Stankevicius Foundations or Facades? Duolingo, AI, and the Antaeus Paradox in EdTech, I explore how the platform’s rapid shift toward AI optimization may be weakening the core elements that once defined its success. Like Antaeus losing his strength when lifted from the ground, Duolingo risks disconnecting from the educational and cultural foundations that gave it power. The article investigates whether the pursuit of growth is coming at the cost of pedagogical integrity and user trust.
