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.
Élément, a SME which is specialised in the production of green electricity, has announced a new €50 million round of funding, which will enable it to double its workforce from the current 100 to 200 by 2030. The company is developing a multi-sector approach to renewable energies (wind power, solar panels, hydroelectricity), and it engages in the construction and management of the infrastructures it designs. It builds and finances its projects with participatory investment from local and regional authorities. The funds raised will mainly be used to develop its projects in France, but also to expand in Finland, Italy and Germany.
