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 commercial court of Coutance approved the two take-over offers for Abattoirs industriels de la Manche (AIM), a pork slaughterhouse, with the consequent loss of 314 jobs losses of a total of 590. The main site, the slaughterhouse of Sainte-Cécile (Manche) will be taken over by a company where the employees have a majority shareholding. Regional and local authorities have also shares and the new company will receive a financial support of the State of about 2.5 million euro through the Banque publique d’investissement. The new company will keep 206 positions of a total of 357.
