Réinventer la formation par l’alternance à l’heure de l’intelligence artificielle

Apprenticeships at the Heart of Change: Trends and Perspectives in the Insurance Industry. Speaker: Catherine Duperrot, Deputy Managing Director - ESA. In this discussion between Catherine Duperrot and Émilie Amisse, Secretary General of OEMA, one question stands out: AI is now permeating all professions, rapidly spreading within companies, and pushing educational institutions to rethink not only the content but also the teaching methods. While this new technology represents a major lever for continuing education, it raises a question for apprenticeship programs: is there a risk that automation will replace certain "formative" tasks, essential for learning and progressing when starting out? A 2024 study from Stanford University highlights that, in sectors most exposed to AI, job growth benefits older workers more than younger ones, particularly because AI very effectively replicates theoretical knowledge and codifiable tasks—those often mastered by recent graduates. To shed light on these initial questions, we spoke with Catherine about several key points: How long has ESA been integrating AI into its practices, and in what ways? What concrete changes does this make in terms of learning for apprentices? How does ESA support and engage teachers on these topics?
