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.
Following the tragic burning of a coal mine in Langreo (Asturias), Hulleras del Norte (Hunosa), the public coal mining company, has announced plans to request an Employment Restructuring Programme (Expediente de Regulacion de Empleo in Spanish) to close down the mine. The measure will affect 480 miners.
