Summary

The French government has unveiled "Impulsion IA 2027", a 12-measure plan with funding of €80 million to speed up AI adoption in the world of work, presented by Labour Minister Jean-Pierre Farandou. It provides for training platforms (Explore IA), support for CFAs (apprentice training centres), an AI-focused reform of the CPF (personal training account), an AI maturity test via France Travail, task forces to raise awareness among SMEs, and a tax credit on the depreciation of robots mentioned by Economy Minister Roland Lescure. The Ministry of Labour notes that French companies are lagging behind and that SMEs risk adopting AI less than large companies. The CGT, through Agathe le Berder, criticises the absence of new employee rights and the use of the CPF. A Coface study estimates that one job in six in France, or 5 million, could be automated within three to four years. The ministry is also targeting €2.5 billion in budget savings in 2027.
