Last April, students published a study on the impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) on local professions. They drew up a picture of the impact of AI on the work of agents and concluded that almost half of the jobs in a “control community” would ultimately be modified by the intervention of generative AI. A scale of the most impacted sectors (reception agents, management professions) and the most preserved (social and technical sectors) was established.

But we decided to change the focus a little and go to the end of the exercise by asking… the AI (at ChatGPT in this case) the professions it was thinking of modifying. We also asked her what she could take charge of and therefore to what extent she threatened territorial professions.
I promise them
This is the question we asked Chatgpt: You are a specialist in artificial intelligence and a member of the local civil service. In your opinion, which professions are and will be impacted by generative AI?
So here’s when and why she can replace you: fasten your seat belts, it might make you feel strange.
### 1. Communication and public relations:*
– *Impact*: Agents in charge of communication (editors, community managers) will be able to use generative AI to create content (press releases, speeches, publications on social networks, newsletters) more quickly and efficiently.
– *Example*: Automatic generation of texts adapted to different audiences or summary reports.

### 2. *Urban planning and regional planning:*
– *Impact*: Generative AI can simulate urban development scenarios, optimize the layout of infrastructure and anticipate the future needs of the population.
– *Example*: Creation of 3D models and simulation of traffic flows to help with decision-making.
### 3. *Human Resources (HR):*
– *Impact*: In the HR field, generative AI can be used to automate the creation of job descriptions, analyze applications, and even generate personalized responses to employees regarding common questions (leave, training, etc.) .
– *Example*: Tools generating precise job offers or automating the analysis of agent skills.
### 4. *Administrative management:*
– *Impact*: Automating the drafting of administrative documents (meeting minutes, standard letters, reports) is an area where generative AI is particularly effective.
– *Example*: Automatic creation of standardized documents to respond to citizens’ requests or produce management reports.

### 5. *Collection and processing of public data:*
– *Impact*: Jobs related to the collection, processing and analysis of data (statisticians, data analysts) will benefit from AI assistance to generate predictive reports, trend analyzes and forecasts.
– *Example*: Use of AI to generate demographic projections, budget forecasts or development scenarios for public services.
### 6. *Culture and heritage:*
– *Impact*: Professionals in charge of heritage and culture will be able to use generative AI to create historical reconstructions, virtual exhibitions or even generate interactive audio guides for visitors.
– *Example*: Generative models to recreate historical sites or generate enriched descriptions of works of art.

### 7. *Management of public services (health, education, social):*
– *Impact*: Generative AI could help create educational materials, health instructions, or even simplified administrative procedures.
– *Example*: Generation of educational content or training programs adapted to the needs of agents or citizens.
### 8. *Improved service to citizens:*
– *Impact*: Chatbots based on generative AI will be able to answer citizens’ questions in real time, whether for administrative procedures, requests for information on local projects or questions related to municipal life.
– *Example*: Digital assistance tools to respond to frequent requests (documents, deadlines, procedures) or personalize services according to the citizen’s needs.
In summary, concludes ChatGPT: “Generative AI, by taking over certain creative and repetitive tasks, will allow agents to focus more on missions with higher added value, such as decision-making, strategic management and relationships. human?
The eye of the DGS
“The bride is perhaps too beautiful”
Explicitly or implicitly (even hidden, which is deception at best), it is obvious that all those who seek to use it see this tool as the new magic wand allowing them to save a “lot of time”. Only the “bride” is perhaps too beautiful.
On the one hand, the degree of precision of the free version is relative, but it is above all the quality of the questions and its training which will make the difference and also… the ability of the person using it to know how to check if they are deceives. Companies already prohibit the use of the free version for security reasons and paid use is limited to certain accredited employees. The security of their sensitive data is at stake.
We tested summaries of documents, particularly legal ones, where everything had to be reread and corrected. Arbitrary dead ends, word changed by another… Taking 1 hour to reread and rewrite the summary of a fourteen-page text and make it the summary note of a deliberation, the exercise was not conclusive. In short, like any innovation used by untrained people, in an unsecured environment and without a company or community strategy, the consequences are not difficult to imagine.
Finally, the carbon footprint of unregulated use of AI is terrifying. We will save time, spend money, and worsen the global carbon footprint. Is this the priority?
