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.
Pharmaceutical company Teva has announced plans to cut 258 jobs in France. Teva explained it will try to find a buyer to take over the production unit with 90 employees, to mitigate the social impact of the decision.
Teva will also try to provide up to 75 new positions within the company, which could eventually decrease the total number of the employees reduced.
The dismissals are to be completed by the end of 2012.
