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.
Chiesi, an Italian pharmaceutical company, is hiring 100 new workers near Blois (Loir-et-Cher). This is part of a €10 million investment in the factory by 2026. In the past 10 years, the group invested over 150 million euros.
The investment was announced at the Choose France summit, which celebrated five other foreign investments in the region: Vorwerk, Essity, Procter & Gamble, and Europhan. The Minister of Industry and several local government representatives were in attendance. This is the seventh consecutive year that Chiesi has taken part in the summit.
