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 Isère-based company Keria specialising in home furnishings, was placed in receivership in March 2025. In recent months, sales of furniture and decorations have plummeted considerably. Therefore, three stores are about to close their doors in Bretagne and the company will then close all of its 62 stores throughout France. This will result in the loss of 275 jobs.
The takeover by the Austrian group Eglo in 2024 was not successful and Keria has not managed to find another buyer this July.
