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 Kiloutou Group, specialised in equipment rental, has announced the recruitment of 1,100 people in 2020. To support its growth in France, Kiloutou plans to recruit 300 employees in sales, 300 in technical professions, 200 in transport activities and more than 300 people on work-study contracts and internships. As there are no details about the number of internships and the duration of work-study contracts, the estimation of net number of jobs created is set at 800.
