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.
Danish medical instrument producer Unomedical has announced that 240 out of 866 employees are to be made redundant in its Michalovce production plant. Dismissals will take place from May to December 2009. Redundancies are caused by planned substantial restructuring of Unomedical production and commercial units in Europe. Delocalisation of all production activities from Denmark to Slovakia is foreseen.
