“Let’s dare to put AI at the service of the French. Let’s debureaucratize the administration and simplify daily life,” Gabriel Attal said on Tuesday. And it won’t take long since, according to the Prime Minister, the tax administration will deploy 100% French AI, designed by the interministerial digital department (Dinum). We take stock of Gabriel Attal’s announcements.
Albert to the rescue of the tax administration
The tax administration will therefore deploy a 100% French AI named Albert, “to write responses to the 16 million annual online requests”. Each response will nevertheless be validated or modified if necessary by an agent. “But the analysis of regulations will be automated, responses drastically accelerated and the work of agents made less painful and more interesting,” argued Gabriel Attal.
The creation of 300 France Services houses
Gabriel Attal also announced the creation of 300 additional France Services houses by 2026 to “simplify” the daily lives of French people in their administrative procedures. The territory will thus have around 3,000 France Services houses, each subsidized to the tune of 40,000 euros in 2024, detailed Matignon. The amount of state subsidies for the years 2025 and 2026, however, has not been decided.
An “intelligible, accessible” language
Faced with the complexity of the administration, Gabriel Attal also announced the launch of an audit, “ministry by ministry, to review all online content and forms” and make the administrative language “intelligible, accessible” .
Extended online voting proxy
The head of government finally confirmed that the online voting proxy, possible in the next European elections, would be extended to other ballots.
A helping hand from “Aristotle” AI in Education
Another AI, this time called “Aristotle” will be launched “from the next school year”. According to our colleagues from France Info, it will offer quizzes and assessments adapted for students, in order to “improve their degree success rate”. It will also make lesson times accessible to students with disabilities, thanks to subtitles generated by AI. Note that at the start of the September school year, “school grants will be paid automatically to the 1.5 million beneficiaries without them having to fill out any form,” France Info has learned.
More speed in environmental projects
Likewise, 4,000 environmental projects submitted each year to regional environmental directorates will now be “pre-trained by an AI”, such as wind farm or urban development projects. And this AI will also be used “from the end of the year” to automate the transcription of legal hearings, the filing of complaints or medical reports. It will also be used for the detection of forest fires or the HR management of civil servants.
All the news on artificial intelligence
Asked about the overall amount of savings expected from the various commitments announced on Tuesday, Matignon replied that he had not produced any figures. “AI will not replace public officials,” insisted the head of government. AI and the human presence are highly compatible and will even be able to reinforce each other: for AI the boring tasks, and for public agents the link with our fellow citizens. »
