Question 15973 — foreigners

Summary

Mr. Guillaume Gouffier Valente questions the Minister of the Interior about the risks linked to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in the processing of residence permits within the prefectures. In February 2026, the Prime Minister announced the launch of an experiment aimed at mobilizing artificial intelligence (AI) in order to accelerate the processing of residence permit applications in five pilot prefectures, with a prospect of generalization of the system by 2027. If AI can, when strictly supervised, contribute to improving the efficiency of the public service, its integration in the processing of residence permits raises several questions regarding respect for the rights and fundamental freedoms of users. These questions appear all the more significant as the systems for dematerializing procedures in the prefecture have already led to operational difficulties, calling for corrective measures, as recently recalled by the Council of State (CE, May 5, 2026, Federation of Solidarity Actors and others, no. 502860) with regard to the digital administration platform for foreigners in France (ANEF), particularly in terms of breaches of rights. In this context, the MP questions the Minister about the guarantees provided to prevent people affected by this experiment do not suffer sudden or unjustified breaches of rights. He also questions the guarantees regarding the strictly individualized nature of the examination of requests in a framework integrating AI tools as well as the alternatives provided for users, particularly in terms of human support, in the event of use of these automated devices.
