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.
The textile company Tarf announced its closure due to the loss of orders and the accumulated debts (for a total of about 15 million euros). The measure will affect 200 workers. The company was paralysed since 8 October 2003, due to a strike of the workers, in protest against the constant delays in the payment of wages.
