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.
Due to the reduction in its main customer's (Fiat Auto) purchases and to the high discounts it demands, the Italian subsidiary of the US-based Hayes Lemmerz has decided to close its plant in Campiglione Fenile (TO). The employees will receive income support by the wages guarantee fund until August 2005 and then they will have the possibility to ask for a transfer to the production site in Dello, in the province of Brescia.
