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.
In July, the concrete products manufacturer Bonna Sabla, which is part of the group Consolis, has announced 171 job cuts in France. Details of the social plan will be given on the 13 September to its Central works council. The site of Lespinasse (among the ones affected by the measure) near Toulouse (Midi-Pyrénées) will be closed by December 2013 causing the loss of 33 jobs.
