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.
Delibera, the company manufacturing accessories for motor vehicles and their engines, announced its bankruptcy and its intention to dismiss the 260 employees working in Plunge in July 2008. The company was established in 2003 with the purpose of helping to fill the orders of the company Yazaki Wiring Technologies Lietuva. In July 2008 Yazaki Wiring Technologies Lietuva decided not to renew the contract with Delibera because of growing labour force expenses in Lithuania. The loss of the main contractor determined the closure of Delibera.
