Summary
Labour Minister Jean-Pierre Farandou has presented ‘Impulsion IA 2027’, a 12-measure plan with funding of more than €80 million, aiming to reach more than 30 million people according to the ministry's press release. The scheme includes dedicated support for micro-businesses and SMEs, drawing on France Travail's 408 Task Force Entreprises, a free training platform, ‘Explore IA’, pathways for apprentice training centres (CFA) and apprentices, a national certification with Afpa and ANSSI, and an extension of the CPF (personal training account) to AI training. The ministry notes that French companies are lagging behind in AI adoption, with a gap between SMEs and large companies. An Observatory on the impact of AI on the world of work will be set up, along with trials of ‘technological social dialogue’ in around twenty companies and industry branches.
