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.
PSA Peugeot Citroën factory in Rennes, specialised in the assembling of vehicles, had already created 1,070 jobs in 2004 and will now create 250 other new jobs, as announced in May 2005. The factory employs 10,500 employees and wants to produce 400,000 vehicles per year instead of 291,000 in 2004. The planned job creation consists mainly in the transformation of fixed-term contracts and temporary posts into permanent contracts.
