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.
České dráhy (Czech Railways) has announced a restructuring plan resulting in 100 job cuts in the company's management board. The decision is attributed to the need to increase effeciency and save hundreds of million CZK a year. About 1,500 people across 53 Czech cities work in the Czech Railway's management board. As of November 2008, there is no information on when dismissals are to be implemented by.
