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.
Liepajas Cukurfabrika (LC), a sugar manufacturer, is closing down in compliance with the EU sugar reform. LC has informed the State Employment agency that it will dismiss 94 employees during the next two months. Next dismissals, affecting approximately 50 employees, will take place in August, while the remaining workers will be dismissed in September.
