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 company Roulands Rubber in Odense announced on 28 February a closure whereby 169 employees will be made redundant. The closure will take place at the end of 2007. The owner ContiTech, which took over Roulands Rubber in 2006, has informed that the decision is due to deficits in the last couple of years. Roulands Rubber produces V-belts of rubber for industry and agriculture.
