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.
In the framework of the reorganisation of its production of railway bogies, Alstom Transport, a branch of the French multinational company Alstom, has announced that it plans to discontinue manufacturing in the Savigliano plant. Savigliano will remain the main Alstom Transport site for tilting trains and tilting related technologies. This programme puts at risk some 300 jobs. The plant employed around 1,300 people in March 2004.
