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.
Vestas, the world's largest manufacturer of windmills, informed in connection with the publishing of its half-year results that 625 employees will be made redundant due to a cutback in economy. Vestas Towers in Svenborg, Fuen, will be closed and a smaller number of employees will also be made redundant in Randers and Hammel. Furthermore, 100 job positions will not be re-employed.
