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 ship building group Naval Group (former DCNS) announced the recruitment of 200 people on permanent employment contract for its site of Nantes Indret at La Montagne, in the department of Loire Atlantique. The positions sought are mainly engineers and technicians. The first phase of recruitment concerns machiners (turners and millers) with 40 positions to be filled.
The group employs 13,000 people on 12 sites in France. Announcements of jobs creation were registered in the ERM in October 2017 (100 job creations), in February 2017 (100 job creations), in 2012 (700 job creations) and in 2011 (100 job creations) but also a restructuring in 2011 (150 job losses).
