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 French car manufacturer PSA Peugeot-Citroën, announced it would start implementing a third working shift at its plant in Mangualde, Portugal. For this shift, 225 workers will be recruited. Available work for the third shift is guaranteed until the end of production of the current generation of vehicles, scheduled for October 2018. Its continuation will depend on the response of the markets to the new model (K9).
