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.
In addition to the 3,500 redundancies announced in January 2004, the French railway company SNCF, has announced another measure of restructuring affecting 400 jobs on the freight division in the Lorraine Region. Reasons are the decrease of activity on a national level. Half of these employees will benefit from early retirement measures or be relocated in others units.
