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.
Kli Logatec, a producer of windows, doors, chairs and tables, has cut 213 jobs over a year. The job cuts are attributed to the decrease in sales. In 2007, sales decreased by 30% and the loss amounted to EUR 2 million. The main owners (pension fund management company Kapitalska družba, insurance company Triglav, and an investment company NFD – Nacionalna finančna družba) have been looking for a strategic investor for the company, without success so far.
