Artificial intelligence

Commitment · Employment and Workforce Training · July 15, 2026

Guaranteeing the right to train throughout life in the face of AI

The fear of being replaced or downgraded, fueled by the progress of artificial intelligence, is not an individual worry. It is a collective anxiety. It calls not for a reassuring speech, but for a concrete guarantee: being able to train throughout one's life.
Original French quote
La crainte d’être remplacé ou déclassé, nourrie par les progrès de l’intelligence artificielle, n’est pas une inquiétude individuelle. C’est une angoisse collective. Elle n’appelle pas un discours rassurant, mais une garantie concrète : pouvoir se former tout au long de sa vie.

Redirecting European savings toward investment in computing power

Savings exist, abundant and first and foremost European. But they cross the Atlantic, and it is our savings that finance the power of others. Bringing them back is a political decision.
Original French quote
L’épargne existe, abondante et d’abord européenne. Mais elle traverse l’Atlantique, et ce sont nos économies qui financent la puissance des autres. La ramener est une décision politique.

Data centers and energy

Commitment · Sovereign Hosting and Moratorium · July 15, 2026

Storing French citizens' data in Europe, under European law

That of French citizens cannot live on servers subject to the law of another power, free one day to consult it or to seize it. Keeping it in Europe, under our law, meets the same requirement
Original French quote
Celles des Français ne peuvent vivre sur des serveurs soumis au droit d’une autre puissance, libre un jour de les consulter ou de s’en saisir. Les garder en Europe, sous notre loi, répond à la même exigence

Education and AI

Commitment · Teachers and Training · July 15, 2026

Provide massive digital training for teachers

Schools must at last master the new tools by providing massive digital training for teachers, by building a public service of educational artificial intelligence, by opening laboratories where the sciences and the humanities speak to each other.
Original French quote
L’école doit enfin maîtriser les nouveaux outils en formant massivement les enseignants au numérique, en bâtissant un service public de l’intelligence artificielle éducative, en ouvrant des laboratoires où sciences et humanités se parlent.

AI in government

Commitment · User Services and Administrative Procedures · July 15, 2026

Guaranteeing human review of any denial of benefits, placement or permit decided with an algorithm

I therefore want to make these guarantees effective and to extend them: that no denial of benefits, placement or permit be handed down without an official examining it, explaining it and answering for it, within an enforceable deadline.
Original French quote
Je veux donc rendre ces garanties effectives et les étendre : qu’aucun refus d’aide, de place ou de titre ne tombe sans qu’un agent l’examine, l’explique et en réponde, dans un délai opposable.

Commitment · Governance and Public Tools · July 15, 2026

Applying safeguards on AI in public services without waiting for the European Union

Since Europe has chosen to give itself time, France will not wait: what the Union puts off until tomorrow, the State will guarantee today in its public services.
Original French quote
Puisque l’Europe a choisi de se donner du temps, la France n’attendra pas : ce que l’Union remet à demain, l’État le garantira dès aujourd’hui dans ses services publics.
