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.
Publisher Wegener plans to cut some 300 jobs, or 15% of staff, and shift its seven regional newspapers to a smaller format. A phased transition to a compact tabloid format for the papers will be launched, starting in the second half of 2006. Wegener hopes to cut costs and appeal to more readers and advertisers with this new format. The job cuts are expected in 2007.
