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.
Liha-Saarioinen, which belongs to the Saarioinen Corporation, manufactures bakery and meat products in Valkeakoski. The company conducted personnel negotiations between January 2006 and 9th February. This led to the reduction of 43 jobs out of 420 employed. The dismissals will take place in the next few months. Reductions are mainly due to the automation of the packing unit in Valkeakoski.
