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.
On January the 30th, the French motor carrier company Tala announced the dismissal of its 170 employees. This decision was confirmed by the Court of Appeal of Grenoble on the 20th of February and will affect Tala’s five freight transport subsidiaries (Cylog, Tfkm, Logivrac, PCB and JPA). The CEO denounced this decision as he considered that the group was on the right way to restore its turnover.
