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 Meaux commercial court has decided to liquidate the factories Valaubrac and Amarilis (Averyon) owned by the kitchen and furniture manufacturer Cauval Industries. The factories are set to close in February with the loss of 170 jobs. The liquidation and consequent closure is blamed on the difficulties the factories went through during the economic crises in 2008.
