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.
Tauris Group management is to close its meat-factory MäsoSpiš in Spišská Nová Ves where all 130 employees will be laid off in mid January 2009. The closure is triggered by declining revenues from sales caused by increasing international competition as well as insufficient effectiveness of production which needs restructuring. Company management plans to relocate the production to its Fabuš plant in Myjava.
