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.
Potez Aéronautique, a company specialised in the manufacture of aerostructure components, has announced that it will be hiring 150 people in 2022 at its various sites in Blagnac (Gironde) and in particular in Aire-sur-l'Adour (Landes). The group has been continuously hiring in the past 3 years and the total number of recruitments will reach 170 by end of 2022, including the 20 remaining positions still open until the end of 2021. The group is recruiting in all areas: logistics, quality, sales, maintenance and for technical professions (fitter, boilermaker, heat treatment operator, industrialisation project manager, control process methodist, press operator, etc.). The company had withstood the health crisis well thanks to its involvement in the programs of military aviation contractors.
