Summary

ActuIA has published a reference page listing nine French court decisions issued between February 2025 and September 2026 on the obligation to consult the CSE (works council) before deploying AI tools in companies. In four of the five cases concerning consultation, the judges either required it or suspended the tool, including a Paris Court of Appeal ruling concerning ChatGPT at a subsidiary of Infopro Digital (GISI). France Télévisions, CS Group France and an insurance company were also involved; Copilot 365, by contrast, was ruled outside the scope of consultation. At GISI, a reorganisation that handed 70% of the tasks of eight copy editors to AI was suspended on grounds of the safety obligation. The article also details Article 22 of the GDPR, illustrated by the €824.99 million fine imposed on Uber in the Netherlands, and the AI Act timetable for high-risk HR tools, applicable from 2 December 2027. Cases are open at RATP and at Ubisoft Paris.
