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.
The French fashion group Cacharel has announced to cut 100 out of 150 jobs within the next 12 months. This was announced by the company's CEO and major shareholder on 15 December 2009. Cacharel will put an end to production and focus on doing business with its licenses.
The company that has an annual turnover of €20 million expects losses of about €9 million in 2009.
