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.
Slovenian car manufacturer Revoz, owned by French Renault group, announced that it will employ 300 staff (in autumn 2011) following recommencing night production at the firm's plants. The 300 employees will be hired on fixed-term contracts by the end of the year. Priority will be given to people who lost jobs in May 2011 (see related fact sheet 17630). Revoz expects its current production volume to remain stable until the end of 2011.
