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.
In October 2008, Bang & Olufsen, a Danish manufacturer of audio and visual products, announced that it is to cut 300 jobs due to the financial crisis. 150 job losses will be achieved through direct dismissals and another 150 through natural wastage. The 3F shop steward announced that measures for re-training will be initiated as soon as possible.
