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 Slovenian company Revoz, a car manufacturer owned by French Renault, will start the production of Clio 4 model in February 2017. This will lead to at least 250 new jobs, which could increase up to 450. Revoz is going to be the third Renault’s manufacturing plant to produce this model (the other two are Flins in France and Bursa in Turkey). The expansion in production is due to increased demand for this particular car model.
By the end of the 2015 Revoz employed 2,100 employees working in two shifts. For the production of Clio 4, Revoz will reintroduce a half-night shift.
