AI and employment: what the 2027 presidential candidates propose

As of September 28, 2026, 63 proposals and statements from 16 candidates and potential candidates: Bernard Cazeneuve, Bruno Le Maire, Bruno Retailleau, David Lisnard, Dominique de Villepin, Florian Philippot, Gabriel Attal, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Jérôme Guedj, Karim Bouamrane, Marine Tondelier, Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, Olivier Faure, Raphaël Glucksmann, Édouard Philippe, Éric Zemmour.

Background

In 2025, 18% of companies with 10 or more employees based in France report using at least one artificial intelligence technology, 8 points more than in 2024, according to Insee. A study by the International Labour Organization (ILO) published in May 2025 estimates that 25% of jobs worldwide are potentially exposed to generative AI, and 34% in high-income countries. Administrative and clerical positions are among the most exposed.

Since February 2, 2025, the European AI regulation has imposed AI literacy obligations. It classifies as high-risk the AI tools used for recruitment and worker management, such as CV screening software, for which the rules will apply from December 2, 2027.

Bernard Cazeneuve · 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.
