Ethics in the digital workplace
Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
Fibre 31, a company specialised in fibre optic coverage of the Haute-Garonne department, is looking for 150 new employees. The company is mainly looking for cable fitters and technicians, as well as a few managers. Faced with recruitment difficulties for these qualified positions, Fibre 31 is also offering training for people far from this employment market, such as young people without qualifications, people with disabilities, those from priority neighbourhoods and senior citizens. Approximately 300,000 hours of training are planned over four years.
