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 Vissuto announced its closure due to a conflict between the two partners. The measure will affect 200 workers. When closing, Vissuto had paid all their wages to its employees and still had orders in its order book which is generally not the case for other textile companies closing. In 2004, the business-oriented company registered a volume of about €750 million.
