Artificial intelligence will profoundly change the world of work in the coming years. Invited to speak on franceinfo, Anne Le Hénanff, the Minister Delegate for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Affairs, acknowledged that some professions could disappear as a result of this technological revolution.
“I think AI will eliminate some jobs; it would be dishonest to say otherwise. However, AI will primarily transform jobs,” the minister stated. According to her, the upcoming changes will mainly affect the tasks performed daily rather than the very existence of many professions.
"An opportunity" for employees
Anne Le Hénanff believes that artificial intelligence should be considered a tool capable of improving working conditions. She particularly emphasizes the potential of these technologies to automate certain administrative tasks deemed repetitive and time-consuming.
“AI should be seen primarily as an opportunity. It frees up a lot of tedious administrative time,” she explained. This development could allow employees to dedicate more time to higher value-added tasks or those requiring human expertise.
For several months, the government has been launching numerous initiatives to accelerate the development of artificial intelligence in France. New public investments have recently been announced to support research, computing infrastructure, and companies in the sector.
The issue of employment remains one of the main topics of debate surrounding the rise of AI. While some experts anticipate the disappearance of certain tasks or functions, others point out that previous technological revolutions have also created new jobs and new skills.
