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 manufacturer of taps and valves, Danfoss, has dismissed 166 employees mainly at the department in Gråsten, Souhtern Jutland, Denmark. 129 employees at Danfoss Drivers in Gråsten have received the notice of dismissal, while 37 dismissals are spread over different business areas, among others at the headquarters in Nordborg. The dismissals will affect persons in administration as well as in production.
As reported, Denmark has applied for assistance from the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF).
