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.
Wärtsilä has announced plans to cut its labour force by 400-500 employees. The majority of dismissals will take place in Mulhouse (France) where an factory will be shut down. At the same time when this decision was made Wärtsilä has planned to start a factory in China.
