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 French medical laboratory Biomnis, which belongs to the British investments fund Duke Street since 2008, has announced plans to cut 200 jobs in the next three years. The company has recently presented a financial plan to overcome its debt with a restructuring plan involving 200 job cuts. Bomnis employs 500 employees in Lyon and 400 in Ivry-sur-Seine near Paris. The plan is to be officially announced in the end of May and will mainly affect the company site in Lyon. The number of job reductions may change following this announcement.
