## Summary

With the "Impulsion IA 2027" plan presented at Station F, the government aims to spread artificial intelligence among 30 million workers by building on existing schemes rather than creating a new school. The Explore IA platform, developed with Pix, will open in January 2027. CFAs (apprenticeship training centres), which train around 800,000 apprentices a year, and the CPF (personal training account), with a new certification built with Afpa and Anssi, are being mobilised. France Travail is to assess the skills of every new registrant. For micro-businesses and SMEs, an "Impulsion IA RH" pilot is planned in two regions, focused on recruitment. The government points to a €665 million top-up via France 2030, without detailing the plan's specific budget.
