So at first, I followed what I’d seen other companies do: I planned to put an executive in charge and a team underneath to lead our AI transformation.

It read, in part: “Unless you’re an official sponsor, you can’t talk about the [REDACTED] or [REDACTED] … But with a bit of clever language, there’s always a way to [REDACTED] the rules.” Back then, the games were being held in Qatar. Duolingo wasn’t an official World Cup sponsor, so it needed to be careful about its language — but it did pay to become the official sponsor of Qatar FC, an amateur soccer team from Brazil.
