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.
ZKL Group, the leading Czech producer of bearings, has announced that it is to cut 120 jobs (out of a total of 1,200 jobs) by the end of 2009. The job losses are attributed to the sharp decline in customer orders. The company has several manufacturing and commercial sites in the Czech Republic.
