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.
Volvo Aero, which develops and produces components for aircraft, rocket and gas turbine engines, is reducing its workforce in Trollhättan by 249 employees. The restructuring is the result of decreasing demand for airplanes and airplane components due to reduced airtravelling. 29 of the job reductions will be implemented via retirements.
