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.
Cucina Italiana Holding, an Italian group that manages the Palacavicchi dance hall in Rome, announced in a recent note that 500 employees at the facility are at risk of being dismissed, as it is likely that the site will be closed down.
The site has been in a very complicated situation and previous and current management teams have been unable to deliver solutions for ensuring the employment of workers. In the note, Cucina Italiana Holding's sole administrator has requested intervention from the Public Prosecutor's Office, the administration and the Court of Rome to find what solutions would be best to adopt.
