AI and health: what the 2027 presidential candidates are proposing

As of September 28, 2026, 20 proposals and statements from 10 candidates and potential candidates: Antoine Mikolajczak, Bernard Cazeneuve, Bruno Retailleau, David Lisnard, Dominique de Villepin, Florian Philippot, Gabriel Attal, Karim Bouamrane, Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, Raphaël Glucksmann.

Background

In October 2025, the Haute Autorité de santé (HAS) published a guide on the use of generative AI for professionals in the health, social and medico-social sectors. It cites uses that are already present, such as transcribing consultations or summarizing scientific literature, and the risk of errors known as "hallucinations." In June 2026, the HAS published, together with France Assos Santé and the CNIL, guidance for the general public, which recalls that an AI tool cannot make a diagnosis: only health professionals can.

The European regulation on AI classifies as high risk the safety components of products based on AI, such as robot-assisted surgery. For systems integrated into regulated products, these rules will apply from August 2, 2028.
