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.
Motorola, the global leader in wireless and broadband communications, is to dismiss 3,500 workers worldwide due to the need to bring down costs. The staff reduction is to be finished by the middle of 2007. The restructuring measure will bring 400 million USD savings in the next two years. Currently, Motorola employs 67,000 people worldwide.
