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.
Finnish provider of digital business support systems Tecnotree has announced that it will cut 116 jobs worldwide.
The layoffs will affect the company’s personnel in Finland, India, the Middle East and the United States. As part of the restructuring programme, the company has decided to discontinue its TrustStar technology platform operating in the American mortgage market. According to Tecnotree, the programme will result in savings of approximately €4.5 million in 2024 and €7 million in 2025.
Founded in 1978, Tecnotree offers software to telecommunication service providers and operates in the Business Support System (BSS) sector.
