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.
Renault is a multinational specialised in the manufacture of motor vehicles. On 12 April 2005 the company announced it will suppress the third shift in the Valladolid plant (Castilla y León) manufacturing the Modus model, thus creating 200 redundancies. The management said the measure will only affect 200 temporary workers. The labour representatives are studying the measure.
