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 city of Paris has announced the closure of the “Cèdre bleu” retirement home in November. The 175 employees will receive job offers in other retirement home, but there are no details on the number of potential jobs offered and if the employees will agree to geographical mobility.
The city explains its decision by a chronic under-occupation of the retirement home and the need of a costly renovation of the building.
