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.
Since 1 June 2004, 120 employees have been dismissed in Slovenka. The management of the company, which had more than 1,400 employees in 2000, tries to save the only producer of knitted articles in Slovakia by an important internal restructuring. A previous restructuring in 2003 resulted in a reduction of about 400 employees.
