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.
The manufacturer of metal parts and components for aircraft engines, Lisi-Aerospace, has announced 197 job cuts. The management specifies that negotiations will be undertaken very soon with the trade unions to define the terms of an employment safeguard plan and enable each employee concerned to find a solution. According to management, this reorganisation project is explained by the fact that commercial air transport has just entered the biggest crisis in its history because of COVID-19.
