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.
Car supplier Faurecia is to dismiss 185 employees at their unit near to Mulhouse in eastern France over the coming months. The company's contract to supply seats for the Citroën C4 is due to expire with a competitor taking on future orders. Management hope to find new work for all the dismissed workers internally or in the sector within the Mulhouse region.
