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.
Alcatel CIT, main Alcatel subsidiary in France, will cut 470 jobs in 2004. In order to pursue this objective, the group wishes to encourage early retirements. Another 900 employees will be reaffected to other Alcatel locations (another 300 had already been redeployed in 2003). Unions fear for the survival of Alcatel CIT.
