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.
Lexel, the cosmetic group specialising in home sales, was declared bankrupt in July by the Commercial Court of Montpellier, which lead to a social plan for 500 redundancies. New investors took over the company on 10th September and have decided to make a further 10 posts redundant in order to preserve the remaining 190 jobs.
