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.
500 jobs will be cut by Saab in Trollhättan as part of the redundancy plan set by General Motors. 300 workers and 200 administrative employees will be affected in the context of this plan, which aims at reducing structural costs in the short term. According to the spokesperson of the company, no decision regarding a long-term strategic solution has been made yet.
