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.
The German group Epcos announced the closure of its Lormont unit specialised in the manufacture of electrical equipments. The unit will be relocated in Czeck republic where the costs are lower. The measure will be effective in early 2004 affecting 90 workers out of 115. At mid-2005, the rest will be dismissed.
