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 Romanian company CrisTim, producer of sausages, has announced the lay off of 100 employees. The move is blamed on the economic downturn as well as the need to increase productivity. These 100 lay offs will come from a workforce of 2,000. In 2008, CrisTim reported a turnover of 130 million euro.
