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.
French telecoms and the Internet company Iliad SA anounced its internal restructuring plan consisting in cutting between 320 and 340 jobs at its broadband unit Alice in Paris between March and December 2009, after having merged it with Iliad's other broadband provider, Free. The company is not planning any mandatory departure before March 2009 but will favor instead voluntary departure and internal mobility. According to the statement, Iliad wants to maintain the brand Alice and its activities.
