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.
In February 2010 the IT group Bull announced that it will begin recruiting 250 additional employees in France as part of a hiring drive to recruit 650 new employees across all of its offices. The new employees in France will be spread over four sites in the Parisian region: Clayes-sous-Bois (78), Saint-Ouen (93), Bruyères-le Chatel (91) and Issy-les-Moulineaux (92). Since the first quarter of 2010, the group has been recovering well from the financial crisis and even hired 600 new employees worldwide in 2009.
