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.
Adria Mobil, producer of motor-homes and caravans based in Novo Mesto, has completed its current dismissals cutting 89 jobs in total. Only workers with fixed-term contracts have been dismissed. The cuts are due to decreasing global demand for motor-homes and caravans. Further shrinking of demand of about 5 % is expected which will very probably lead to further job losses. At the end of 2007, Adria Mobil had 839 employees. It is owned by the Autocommerce group in Ljubljana.
