Mandate AI Transparency in hiring practices for UK Based Businesses

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 15 April 2026

We want the Government to force UK Based Employers to provide clarification in rejection emails as to whether an AI system (such as Applicant Tracking Software (ATS)) was used to provide the initial rejection and to provide a means for a 'Right of Reply' if jobseekers feel this was made in error. The Government should require UK employers to disclose when ATS or other AI systems are used to automatically reject job applications. These tools often scan for keywords without context, which can disadvantage dyslexic and neurodivergent applicants, undervalue apprenticeships and hands-on experience, and reinforce class barriers in hiring. Applicants should also have a clear right of reply where they believe an automated rejection has been made in error.

Question 14328 — police

France · National Assembly · 14 April 2026

Mme Élisa Martin interroge M. le ministre de l'intérieur sur l'usage prohibé de la reconnaissance faciale par la police et la gendarmerie française depuis 2022. Le média d'investigation Disclose dévoile dans une enquête parue le 16 mars 2026 que sur leurs téléphones professionnels « NEO » - pour « nouvel équipement opérationnel » -, les agents disposent d'un logiciel de reconnaissance faciale qui peut lire les cartes d'identité ou les plaques d'immatriculation des véhicules et fournir dans l'immédiat des informations personnelles à partir d'une photographie prise sur l'instant. Cette technologie est directement reliée au fichier de traitement d'antécédents judiciaires (TAJ) et peut donc accéder aux fiches de plus d'un quart de la population française. Elles contiennent le nom, la date de naissance, l'adresse, la profession, les coordonnées téléphoniques de chaque personne et parfois des renseignements tels que l'appartenance politique ou religieuse. Le fichier TAJ dispose de jusqu'à 9 millions de portraits de face, les fiches de 17 millions de mis en cause et de 48 millions de victimes. L'enquête révèle ainsi que des fonctionnaires ont recours à l'utilisation de la reconnaissance faciale lors de contrôles d'identité en toute illégalité. En effet, si une note interne du directeur général de la gendarmerie de novembre 2020 élargit l'accès au TAJ aux agents de la voie publique et de la sécurité routière, le code de procédure pénale limite strictement la consultation de ce fichier. Elle ne peut se faire que dans le cadre d'enquêtes judiciaires concernant un crime, une infraction, un délit ou dans des enquêtes administratives. Seuls des agents « individuellement désignés et spécialement habilités » peuvent accéder au fichier (article R. 40-28 du code de procédure pénale). Le TAJ ne peut donc aucunement être consulté en temps réel. Pourtant, le rapport d'activité de l'IGPN de 2023 atteste à la page 35 que ce fichier est « fréquemment utilisé sur la voie publique lors de contrôles d'identité » et va même jusqu'à alerter sur le risque « que le nombre de consultations injustifiées s'accroisse » avec l'accès direct au TAJ permis par les appareils NEO. Les consultations du fichier associées à de la reconnaissance faciale sont effectivement passées de 375 000 en 2019 à 1 million en 2024. En 2023 déjà, le déploiement illégal du logiciel Briefcam dans plusieurs services de police et de gendarmerie en France a fait l'objet d'une première révélation de Disclose . Celle-ci a déclenché une enquête administrative du ministère de l'intérieur qui a débouché sur la mise à l'arrêt de ce dispositif. La même année en Isère, le tribunal administratif de Grenoble a censuré la décision du maire de la commune de Moirans de recourir à ce logiciel, considérant qu'il permet « de procéder à des traitements relevant du droit des données à caractère personnel » sans qu'il n'apporte « aucune garantie de nature à sauvegarder le droit au respect de la vie privée des administrés », pourtant prévu par la Déclaration des droits de l'homme et du citoyen de 1789. Dans le même temps, la loi relative aux jeux Olympiques et Paralympiques de 2024 a introduit l'expérimentation de la vidéosurveillance algorithmique. Cette technologie recourt inévitablement à la biométrie comme l'affirme à juste titre la CNIL puisqu'elle analyse les caractéristiques physiques strictement propres à une personne et a ainsi servi à étudier les comportements dans l'espace public. Son prolongement jusqu'à la fin de l'année 2027 indique une volonté politique de pérenniser son usage en dépit des nombreuses dérives liberticides inhérentes à son fonctionnement. D'autres propositions de loi plus récentes comme celle portant sur la protection des commerçants avec l'outil numérique viennent faire entrer l'usage de la vidéosurveillance algorithmique dans le droit commun. Pourtant, les conséquences de cet outil n'ont rien d'ordinaire. L'enquête de Disclose livre plusieurs témoignages révélateurs des dangers qu'il représente pour la démocratie et les libertés publiques. En effet, un manifestant a fait l'objet d'une identification par reconnaissance faciale sous la contrainte lors d'un contrôle de police à la sortie d'un rassemblement en soutien à la Palestine place de la République à Paris. À Marseille, un jeune homme explique avoir été contrôlé et identifié après qu'un agent l'a photographié sans que ses papiers d'identité ne lui aient été demandés. Cette méthode ne respecte pas les droits de la personne et génère un climat de suspicion généralisée. Elle tend vers un fichage de la population et vers la surveillance de masse. La reconnaissance faciale repose sur la catégorisation des caractéristiques physiques des individus et conduit inévitablement à de la discrimination. En juillet dernier, le Gouvernement britannique a annoncé l'instauration d'une intelligence artificielle capable d'évaluer l'âge d'une personne en fonction des traits du visage et l'application de ce dispositif aux exilés se déclarant mineurs. Cet exemple illustre les atteintes aux droits humains et le traitement inégalitaire des personnes auxquels conduit assurément une estimation basée sur des caractéristiques physiques génériques. Ainsi, elle lui demande comment il est possible que des policiers et gendarmes soient équipés de technologies qui permettent un recours à la reconnaissance faciale pourtant prohibé, s'il compte ouvrir une enquête administrative et interdire l'usage de ces appareils et quelles sanctions vont être prises concernant l'utilisation du traitement d'antécédents judiciaires en dehors de tout cadre légal.

Question 14297 — lieux de privation de liberté

France · National Assembly · 14 April 2026

M. Ugo Bernalicis alerte M. le garde des sceaux, ministre de la justice, sur la décision de suspendre, par instruction en date du 13 mars 2026, les permissions de sortir à caractère culturel et sportif pour les personnes détenues. Cette décision a immédiatement suscité une contestation d'ampleur, matérialisée par un référé déposé devant le Conseil d'État par sept organisations, dont la CGT Insertion probation et le Syndicat national de l'ensemble des personnels de l'administration pénitentiaire (SNEPAP-FSU), qui constituent les deux organisations syndicales majoritaires au sein des services pénitentiaires d'insertion et de probation (SPIP). À leurs côtés, l'Observatoire international des prisons (OIP-SF), le Syndicat de la magistrature, la Ligue des droits de l'homme, le Syndicat des avocats de France et l'Association des avocats pour la défense des droits des détenus dénoncent une mesure à la fois illégale et contre-productive. Sur le plan du droit, cette instruction ministérielle apparaît en contradiction frontale avec les dispositions en vigueur. L'article 723-3 du code de procédure pénale prévoit explicitement que les permissions de sortir ont notamment pour objet de préparer la réinsertion sociale et professionnelle des personnes condamnées. L'article D. 49 du même code autorise expressément leur octroi pour la pratique d'activités culturelles ou sportives encadrées. En remettant en cause, de manière générale et indifférenciée, ces dispositifs, M. le ministre prend la responsabilité de fragiliser un équilibre légal pourtant clair. Au-delà de son illégalité manifeste, cette décision révèle un choix politique assumé, que M. le député conteste fermement. Elle procède d'une stratégie désormais bien identifiée consistant à instrumentaliser des faits isolés pour justifier des restrictions générales des droits et des dispositifs existants. Or les chiffres disponibles sont sans ambiguïté : sur près de 62 000 permissions de sortir accordées en 2024, seule une vingtaine a donné lieu à une évasion, soit un niveau d'incident statistiquement marginal. M. le député considère que la généralisation d'une interdiction à partir de tels éléments relève d'une logique démagogique et d'une surenchère sécuritaire incompatible avec une politique publique rationnelle. Cette mesure s'inscrit, de manière cohérente, dans une politique plus globale conduite depuis plusieurs années par le ministère de la justice, visant à réduire les activités en détention et à affaiblir les leviers de réinsertion. Après l'interdiction des activités dites « ludiques ou provocantes » en 2025 - déjà partiellement censurée par le Conseil d'État - cette nouvelle instruction confirme une dérive vers une conception exclusivement punitive et afflictive de la peine, en rupture avec les principes de désistance et de prévention de la récidive. M. le député considère que cette orientation est non seulement idéologiquement contestable, mais également inefficace. Les activités culturelles et sportives ne constituent pas des privilèges, mais des outils essentiels de reconstruction, de socialisation et de préparation à la sortie. Leur remise en cause affaiblit directement les politiques de prévention de la récidive et compromet, à terme, la sécurité collective. Dans ce contexte, M. le député tient à exprimer son soutien plein et entier aux personnels des services pénitentiaires d'insertion et de probation, dont l'expertise et l'engagement sont aujourd'hui ouvertement mis en cause. Il dénonce la mise sous pression croissante de ces agents, la remise en cause de leurs missions et ce qu'il considère comme une véritable politique de défiance à leur égard, alors même qu'ils constituent un maillon central de la chaîne pénale. Face à ces éléments, il lui demande : de préciser les fondements juridiques exacts de l'instruction du 13 mars 2026, ainsi que les raisons pour lesquelles celle-ci méconnaît les dispositions explicites des articles 723-3 et D. 49 du code de procédure pénale ; de communiquer l'ensemble des données disponibles sur les permissions de sortir sur les cinq dernières années, en détaillant leur nombre, leur nature, leur finalité (notamment culturelle et sportive), ainsi que le taux et la typologie des incidents constatés ; de produire les études, évaluations ou données scientifiques dont disposerait le ministère quant à l'impact des permissions de sortir et, en particulier, des activités culturelles et sportives sur les parcours de désistance et les taux de récidive ; d'indiquer si le Gouvernement reconnaît les travaux scientifiques établissant le rôle déterminant des politiques d'insertion dans la prévention de la récidive et, le cas échéant, pour quelles raisons il choisit de s'en écarter ; de préciser l'évolution, sur les dernières années, des moyens humains et budgétaires alloués aux SPIP, ainsi que les conséquences concrètes des orientations ministérielles sur leurs capacités d'intervention ; de détailler les instructions données aux chefs d'établissement et aux SPIP à la suite de cette décision et les modalités concrètes de prise en charge des personnes détenues privées de ces activités ; enfin, de faire connaître ses intentions quant au rétablissement immédiat des permissions de sortir culturelles et sportives, au regard de leur utilité reconnue en matière de réinsertion et de prévention de la récidive.

Question 14212 — arts et spectacles

France · National Assembly · 14 April 2026

M. Christophe Bex attire l'attention de Mme la ministre de la culture sur une problématique cruciale touchant le secteur du doublage et, plus largement, l'ensemble du patrimoine culturel français, à l'heure de l'essor rapide de l'intelligence artificielle. Le doublage français est reconnu mondialement pour sa qualité et constitue un vecteur essentiel de diffusion de la langue et de la culture françaises. Or le développement d'outils d'intelligence artificielle capables de générer des voix synthétiques menace directement les professions du doublage. La substitution progressive des comédiens par des voix artificielles risque d'appauvrir la profondeur émotionnelle des œuvres, de porter atteinte à leur authenticité et, à terme, de fragiliser l'intégrité artistique des productions audiovisuelles. Au-delà de ces enjeux esthétiques, cette évolution soulève des questions éthiques majeures. L'utilisation non consentie de la voix des artistes, rendue possible par les technologies de clonage vocal, interroge le respect des droits des interprètes, notamment en matière de consentement, de rémunération et de propriété artistique. À cet égard, près de 15 000 emplois seraient aujourd'hui menacés dans le secteur du doublage, dont environ 5 000 artistes-interprètes. Plus largement, l'intrusion de l'intelligence artificielle dans les processus de création cinématographique et audiovisuelle fait peser un risque systémique sur l'ensemble de la filière culturelle. Dans les musées, elle tend à remplacer les médiations humaines ; dans le spectacle vivant, elle concurrence les métiers créatifs ; dans l'audiovisuel, elle automatise des fonctions jusqu'ici profondément humaines. Cette dynamique pourrait conduire à une dévalorisation globale de la création, à une perte d'attractivité des œuvres et à une désaffection du public. Or le secteur du cinéma et de l'audiovisuel représente une part significative de l'économie nationale, avec plusieurs centaines de milliers d'emplois et un rôle majeur dans le rayonnement international de la France. Par ailleurs, le marché mondial du doublage est en pleine croissance, avec une taille estimée à 4,24 milliards de dollars en 2024 et une projection atteignant 7,8 milliards de dollars d'ici 2032. Dans ce contexte, laisser se développer sans encadrement ces technologies pourrait fragiliser durablement la capacité du pays à capter cette croissance, ainsi que le modèle culturel et économique français. Face à ces enjeux, il apparaît indispensable de concilier innovation technologique et protection de la création. Il est de la responsabilité des pouvoirs publics de veiller à ce que l'intelligence artificielle ne devienne pas un outil de destruction culturelle, mais demeure au service des artistes et des œuvres. En conséquence, M. le député souhaite savoir si le Gouvernement entend légiférer afin d'encadrer strictement l'utilisation de l'intelligence artificielle dans les secteurs du doublage et du cinéma, notamment en garantissant le consentement préalable, explicite et rémunéré des artistes pour toute utilisation de leur voix ou de leur image. Il souhaite également connaître les mesures concrètes qu'elle entend mettre en œuvre pour soutenir financièrement les professionnels concernés, préserver les emplois menacés et accompagner les mutations du secteur. Enfin, il lui demande quelles initiatives le Gouvernement envisage pour renforcer l'exception culturelle française, promouvoir la diversité et la richesse du patrimoine et assurer la pérennité des industries créatives face aux défis posés par les nouvelles technologies.
