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 24 April 2013, the restaurant and bakery company Groupe Le Duff announced to recruit 1,000 employees in France in 2013. The group has achieved 1.5 billion euro turnover in 2013 in France (70% out of its turnover results come from its retail activities and 30% from the manufacturing ones). According to its corporate website, the group employed 14,100 people by the end of 2012. The recruitments will be carried out in its restaurants "Brioche dorée" (400) and "Del Arte" (400), and its manufacturing activities (70 in 2013 and 150 by 2014 for new units under construction).
