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 Danish producer of mobile phone for Siemens, Flextronics, has been through several restructuring programmes since 2003. In 2003, 1500 were employed at the factory of Pandrup. In June 2004, 300 were left, when the management announced that Flextronics was not able to survive the massive fall in production. The factory will close down before the end of 2004.
