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.
Mobile phone retailer Tél and Com announced the closure of all its 150 shops in France. This will result in the loss of up to 755 jobs. The group considers its economic model to no longer be sustainable. In 2013 the Phone House France took the same decision and closed its shops with 1,200 job cuts.
