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.
On 11 June, the tyre manufacturers Michelin announced the creation of 100 jobs at its plant in Cholet (Maine-et-Loire) in 2011. The management intends to launch a new production line to increase the production site, specialized in equipment of small utilities and 4x4s.The new production line will create a hundred additional jobs which will mostly be filled by the redeployment of Michelin staff from other units. The production will reach 6 million tyres per year (+30%) for an investment of approximately 30 million euro.
