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 15 May 2012, the management of Diane Industries, a manufacturer of fireplaces and stoves, announced the intention to create 130 new job in Laon, France, over the next three years. The company plans to recruit immediately 20 new employees to prepare for the start of production in January 2013. The rest of the staff will be recruited at a later stage.
