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.
Aquitel, a call-centre group, has announced to recruit 100 employees for its site of Chasseneuil-du-Poitou (Vienne) to cope with the resources requested by the signature of a new contract with a multinational providing new technologies. The new employees will have to help customers solve problems they face. They will be recruited on full-time permanent employment contract and will receive a two-months training before starting in September.
