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.
The Danish based multinational dairy, Arla, announced 16 April that approximately 300 jobs will be cut at European level as a consequence of the global crisis. 250 employees in the administration in Viby (DK), Stockholm (SE) and Leeds (UK) will receive a notice of dismissal while another 50 jobs will be reduced by natural wastage.
