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.
Japanese consumer electronics giant JVC has announced the closure of its plant in Berlin. Out of 235 jobs, only the quality control department with 10 jobs is to stay. That department is to take over quality checks for other JVC-factories in Europe. JVC Berlin produces VCRs, DVD-Players and digital cameras.
