## Summary

According to a Banque de France survey conducted between late February and April 2026 among 7,000 companies of various sizes and industries, 67% of French companies with at least 20 employees report using generative AI. The Banque de France describes this adoption as widespread across the productive economy, while noting that uses remain mostly limited and experimental. The institution distinguishes generative AI, an emerging technology since the arrival of ChatGPT, from non-generative AI, which has been present in companies for longer; this distinction structures the analysis of reported uses.
