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.

In March 2023, Buitoni (Nestlé France), the previous owner, was forced to close due to the deaths of two children and the illness of around 50 people caused by E. coli poisoning. Italpizza, an Italian manufacturer of frozen pizza, acquired the Buitoni factory and inaugurated a new site on January 27 with an investment of twelve million euros. Italpizza is hiring 140 workers for its new manufacturing site in Caudry. The goal is to manufacture and sell pre-cooked products using two production lines.
