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.
Telecom company KPN (the former state monopoly) announced on 5 February 2008 that it will cut another 2000 jobs in the coming three years. These come on top of the loss of 2500 jobs announced earlier. The measures will mainly hit employees involved in the fixed telecom network of KPN. Forced dismissals are not ruled out.
