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 German company based in Denmark, Siemens Wind Power, announced the creation of 1,000 new jobs in Denmark throughout 2008. However, the shop steward at the company stated that he does not expect new recruitment for the rest of the year. Siemens also plans to build a new factory at Esbjerg, but building work has not started yet.
