Before long, we'll do without keyboards, mice, and touchpads altogether, and simply ask technology to carry out our every command in a conversational manner.
It's not just innovators like MistralAI, Anthropic and OpenAI who are driving change. Artificial intelligence is creeping into all kinds of careers, not just those at the cutting edge of technology.
Regulators are working to catch up. The future European law on AI will provide the guidelines for a sector which will have considerable consequences.
Therefore, public and private sector employers will look to recruit people with the talents needed to build and govern AI. In the public sector, these include those with the skills needed to leverage AI within government, build regulatory capacity in AI and consolidate the AI R&D ecosystem.

In business, these are those who have the skills to harness it for new products and services for consumers and businesses, as well as to improve the internal efficiency through the development of new systems and processes.
In this rapidly changing environment, certain technological skills will remain in demand. These include machine learning engineers and data scientists – those with the skills we need to mine data, derive valuable insights and develop intelligent algorithms.
The most sought-after technical skills are those of the aforementioned machine learning engineers and data scientists, as well as software developers.
According to Salary Expert, the average gross salary of a machine learning engineer in France is €80,584, ranging from €56,000 for entry-level engineers to €100,000 for senior practitioners. level. Glassdoor, for its part, estimates that the average salary of a data scientist in Paris is €49,000.
Software managers, who manage the planning, execution and delivery of software projects, will also remain in high demand, thanks to their skills bridging the gap between company objectives and development teams.
According to Glassdoor, an experienced manager can reasonably expect to earn an annual salary of between 50,000 and 63,000 euros.
According to Indeed, fullstack developers in France earn around 42,500 euros, backend developers around 45,000 euros and core developers with eight or more years of experience can reach 90,000 euros – in Paris at least, which typically pays a 5% premium.
Cybersecurity specialists will also remain in high demand, given that as technology proliferates, the risk of fraud increases.
Governments have committed to supporting digital transformation, particularly that powered by artificial intelligence. In this area, the omens are good. The France 2030 policy provides for 54 billion euros of investments to prepare the country for future transitions, including the digital transition.
French Tech, the cohort of technological start-ups, already has around 25,000 companies, representing 1.1 million direct and indirect jobs, while investments in DeepTech are the highest in the EU.
France is the EU country that attracts the most foreign direct investment, as evidenced by the announcement at the start of the year of Google's new artificial intelligence laboratory. in Paris, which should accommodate some 300 researchers and engineers.
The private sector is doing its part, like local hero Mistral AI, which managed to raise millions of euros a few weeks after its creation.
But the government is determined to make France a leader in artificial intelligence. Last year, he announced new funding of 500 million euros to create start-ups in the field of AI, which should help counter the English orientation of the big companies. language modeling systems to date.
