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.
The manufacturer of trucks Iveco Magirus announced on 29 August that it will cut 450 jobs in 2008 and another 100 jobs in 2009. All job cuts will affect employees with fixed term contracts who will have to leave the company as soon as their contracts expire. No further details have been published.
