Summary
The article, based on analysis by Robin Coulet (Ceetadel, SocIAty firm), notes that AI adoption is progressing in France: 18% of companies with 10 or more employees used it in 2025, against 6% in 2023, and 58% of those with 250 or more employees, according to Insee. But in his view, adoption is not enough: the time savings generated by AI must be reinvested strategically, rather than simply speeding up existing processes. He advocates starting from jobs and tasks rather than tools, using an "AI chessboard" concept that distributes cognitive functions between humans and agents. He also stresses the need to structure the company's internal knowledge, which he sees as a strategic intangible asset if AI is to work properly.
