Infopro Digital

Infopro Digital subsidiary Gisi planned to eliminate eight editorial secretary positions and replace much of their work with AI-supported roles. A French court suspended the plan pending real-world testing of the AI system; five employees had already received pre-dismissal interview letters.

• · The court ruling and union material document a concrete dismissal plan tied directly to replacing editorial-secretary tasks with generative AI.
• · The plan was suspended before completion, so the summary and headcountText describe planned rather than completed dismissals.
• · Five of the eight affected journalists had reportedly received pre-dismissal interview letters before the ruling.
• · The quote is Digital Watch Observatory's reporting, not a company statement; the same report says the company estimated AI could perform around 70% of an editorial secretary's tasks.
• · No first-party company statement was found in the cited sources, so confidence is medium rather than high.
