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.
According to the source, about 150 workers in Altec Telecoms (one of the largest Telecommunications Networks in Greece offering a wide variety of products and services in the following sectors: Fixed telephony, Internet connection & VPN, Broadband services) are being kept in a situation where they are unpaid, and without any intention from the employer to fire them.
For the record Altec Telecoms has submitted an application for bankruptcy.
