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.
Industeel, subsidiary of Arcelor, announced a restructuring plan affecting 180 workers on a total of 826. Yet in December 2001, Industeel dismissed 177 workers.
The measure is due to improve the efficiency of the company, with the objective of having positive results by 2006.
