Robots, immigration and a vision for France’s social safety net

One post argues that promoting robots as a way to limit immigration risks encouraging opposition to technological progress: if robots can replace immigrant workers, French workers may fear being replaced too. The author proposes a different social agenda—using robots and AI to fund pensions, healthcare and leisure. With society organized around that goal, they argue, France could more easily welcome newcomers with dignity, without making them competitors with French workers for poorly paid jobs.
