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.
Techpy, producer of metal products, has announced the dismissal of 98 of its 275 employees on the site of Imphy (Bourgogne). The job reduction plan will start in May 2004 and will include the setting up of an internal mobility unit. The company has experienced losses in 2003. Unions, who disagree on the plan, want to reduce the number of direct dismissals.
