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 Parisian brand Eleven Paris has been put under liquidation on 27 March by the Commercial court of Paris. This decision leads to the dismissal of over a hundred of employees from the headquarter in Paris and of its different outlets in France. The company was placed in receivership in December 2016. The group failed after receiving complains after using the image and name of artists as Rihanna, Beyoncé, Kanye West, Jay-Z and Pharell Williams. If an agreement was to be found, the financial situation was too compromised to pursue its development.
