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.
Posten, the Swedish postal company, has announced that it is to ‘outsource’ 140 finance jobs at its units in Umeå and Solna. The jobs at these sites will be moved to the firm Lindorff, and the job losses will be implemented by November 2007. The job losses are the latest in a series of restructuring plans that Posten has implemented since 2003.
