Abstract

Since the end of 2022, permanent contract hires among young people have fallen more markedly in occupations where tasks can most easily be performed or assisted by generative AI. Contract terminations are also declining, while the total employment levels of firms reporting intensive AI use do not differ significantly from those of other firms. The first observed changes are therefore reflected more in employee hires and separations than in a discernible decline in the total number of employees. Depuis fin 2022, les embauches en CDI des jeunes ont davantage reculé dans les métiers dont les tâches peuvent le plus facilement être réalisées ou assistées par l’IA générative. Les fins de contrat diminuent également, tandis que l’emploi total des entreprises déclarant un usage intensif de l’IA ne s’écarte pas nettement de celui des autres entreprises. Les premiers changements observés passent ainsi davantage par les entrées et les sorties que par une baisse visible du nombre total de salariés.
