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.
Around 100 employees will be made redundant when the textile factory Trevira Neckelmann moves its production of FZ yarn to Guben, in the former DDR, where wages are 25% lower and energy 20% cheaper. The Trevira Group was bought in June 2004 by the Indian group Reliance Industries. Employees hope that Reliance Industries will create new jobs in the dye works of Silkeborg.
