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 giant Mura, from Prekmurje has played a vital employement role in the North East Slovene region and several restructuring plans supported by local and national governments, have been under way since mid 1990's. 230 job losses (through early retirements, voluntary leaves and other soft measures) are to be expected by the end of 2005, followed by further downsizing in 2006. Management aims at developing a EU-recognized fashion clothing trademark and subsequently selling at more profitable prices.
