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.
LM Wind Power, part of the American company GE Vernova, produces windmill wings and will dimiss 170 employees from the technology center in Lunderskov and the national headquarters in Kolding. The dimissal notice will be effective from end of April. This is part of the plan to cut costs and dismiss 1.000 employees worldwide in LM Wind Power.
GE Vernova took over LM Wind Power in 2017, but has not been able to make a surplus except for 2019. LM Wind Power experienced a deficit of 3.6 billion kroner in their first five years from 2017 and GE Vernova has now chosen to cut down production of wings.
