Duolingo Inc. is facing risks from multiple angles as investors reassess the impact of artificial intelligence on the mobile foreign language learning platform.
AI-powered live translation services are seen as a potential threat to its long-term growth, which explains the stock’s volatility last week after Apple Inc. detailed a similar feature to be included with its latest AirPods.
