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.
After 39 years of activity, Companhia de cartões do Cavado, a manufacturer of special compact cards for several uses, announced the closure of its factory in Braga on 21 of June. The reason given for the closure is the high level of debts the company has incurred in and the impossibility of having access to external capital to make the activity feasible. The closure will affect 103 workers.
