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 the context of its Europe-wide restructuring plan, Villeroy & Boch announced the closure of the Epernay plant (Marne). The measure affects 75 workers and is due to huge competition from low cost countries and the automatisation of the production process.
