An explicit object of prevention
France’s 2026–2030 occupational-health plan asks that AI-related transformations be discussed, respectful of working conditions and evaluated through their real effects. It treats AI both as a prevention tool and as a possible source of occupational risk.
This institutional shift matters: it brings AI use into ordinary questions of organisation, social dialogue and health instead of leaving it solely to technical teams.
Move from principle to observation
The planned observatory can produce useful knowledge if its data remain connected to work situations, occupations and concrete deployment choices.
Occupational-health and prevention services have a role here: documenting both sides of AI, supporting discussion and monitoring effects over time.
