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. Summary based on the full text of the article.
