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.
As a result of the acquisition of Pechiney by Alcan (global leader in Aluminium and packaging), the five registered offices of Pechiney (Pechiney SA, Pechiney Aluminium, Rhenalu, Cebal, Teckpack), will be affected by a restructuring plan. 227 jobs are to be cut off. If 120 people were offered an internal relocation, 59 people will still have to go through external redeployment.
