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 dairy company Arla Foods has announced that it will move part of its production activities from its unit in Örebro to its plants in Stockholm, Jönköping and Linköping in order to enhance the efficiency and customer service levels. Some 140 out of 190 workers will be affected by the plan. Negotiations with trade unions are expected to start soon.
