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.
Turbomecanica Bucuresti, which produces engines for the aircraft industry, has announced it is to lay off 150 workers. The dismissals are part of an internal restructuring plan. In the first nine months of 2008, the company reported total losses of approximately 5.6 million euros and turnover decreased to a half of volumes in 2007. At present the company has 700 employees.
