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 car manufacturer PSA Peugeot-Citroën has decided to cut 300 temporary jobs. The job reduction measure will affect mostly its manufacturing units of the Peugeot 3008, 5008 and Citroën DS5 (from 2 teams to 1, 5 team).
The decision is linked with a capacity optimisation strategy. As reported the unions expressed fears for further job reduction measures in the future.
