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.
Egesta, a company specializing in the production of prefabricated wooden houses, has dismissed 108 employees since the beginning of 2009. The number of employees decreased from 120 to 12 in the company. The main cause of the internal restructuring of the company was the termination of contracts with Norwegian companies. Norway is the company's exclusive export market.
