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.
Alstom Transport, a branch of the French multinational company Alstom which is active in the railway manufacturing and service sector, has announced a reorganisation of its manufacturing activities. Notably, the production of bogies (bogies are the rolling base onto which the rail carriage or wagon is fixed) will be discontinued in three sites out of the present five and will be concentrated in France and Germany.
