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.
SVT, the Swedish state owned television organization, has announced that it is to cut 500 jobs across Sweden. Management at the firm attribute the job losses to the need to cut costs in order to compete with commercial television and to spend more on the production of television programmes. The job losses will be implemented by 2012. SVT employs 3,000 in Sweden.
