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.
Tanvald city-based company Seba T, one of the leading European manufacturers of textile fabrics, is to dismiss 290 workers due to the pressure of cheap Asian competition and an increase in energy price. The company, currently employing 540 people, intends to cease the production at two cotton spinning and weaving mills and will focus only on final processing of cloth.
