Converting work hours eliminated by AI into free time rather than unemployment

Thirdly, AI is going to eliminate thousands of hours of necessary work. The question raised is therefore: do we decide to distribute unemployment or free time? I make the optimistic choice.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon, July 22, 2026 · translation by the observatory

Original quote (French)

Troisièmement, l’IA va supprimer des milliers d’heures de travail nécessaires. La question posée est donc : est-ce qu’on décide de répartir du chômage ou du temps libre ? Je fais le choix optimiste.
