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.
On 11 March 2009, software company Capgemini announced it will reduce its workforce by 10%. About 40 employees will be dismissed, while remaining 660 cuts will be implemented through other measures (not filling vacancies created by personeel that leves of its own accord or is pensioned of). A major reason for the restructuring is price competition in the sector.
