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 estate company Svenska Bostäder will cut 200 jobs in Stockholm. The dismissals, which are part of a reorganisation plan aiming at increasing efficiency, are expected to lead to savings of about 50 million SEK per year. Outplacement measures will be implemented in order that no dismissed workers are left unemployed.
