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.
150euros, a magazine and subsidiary of the Hopps Group, is shutting down, resulting in the loss of 145 jobs. The company was founded in April 2024 with the aim of helping to alleviate the financial struggles of the Hopps Group and Milee.
However, both Milee and the Hopps Group have since been liquidated: Milee 2024 - FR and Hopps group 2024 - FR. Another subsidiary, Dispeo, is also facing financial difficulties, with several of his site shutting down. Despite its intended purpose, 150euros was unable to make a substantial impact on the Group's economic challenges and could not sustain its operations.
