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.
Hungarian Telephone and Cable Corp (HTCC), Hungary's largest telecommunications company, is to make 200 employees redundant. HTCC employs 1428 persons and the redundancies will affect about 14% of the workforce. The restructuring activity comes as a result of HTCC acquiring the telecommunications companies Invitel, Pantel and Hungarotel in April 2007. Full integration of the acquired companies is expected to be finished by early 2008. The redundancies are due to start taking place in July 2007 after consultations with trade unions.
