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.
Placed in receivership at the beginning of July, the joinery Menuiserie Grégoire at Saint-Martial-d'Artenset (Dordogne), could be taken over. Indeed, two buyers have come forward, but nearly half of the employees could be dismissed. Between 150 and 207 employees could lose their job, depending on the takeover offer that will be preferred by the commercial court. The choice of the buyer will be announced on 8 August. The company currently employs 430 people.
