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 low cost Spanish airline LTE International Airways S.A. is to close with the consequent loss of 300 jobs. LTE will present a Dossier of Employment Regulation (Expediente de Regulación de Empleo - ERE) which will affect the entire ‘low cost' work force, at a voluntary creditors meeting. The 300 workers affected are distributed between the head office at Palma and bases in Tenerife, Las Palmas and Lanzarote.
