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 French national health insurance system, L’Assurance Maladie, has launched a campaign to recruit 5,000 workers annually as part of the 2023-2027 agreement with the State and its board. This initiative supports strategic goals in healthcare digitalisation, fraud prevention, risk management, and improved access to care. Targeted recruitment efforts include 1,000 new nursing roles and 60 cyber-detectives to combat online fraud.
