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.
Initial Textiles, a manufacturer of workwear, located at several places in Belgium is about to cut 200 jobs due to a fall in demand, particularly in the hospital sector. The company intends to relocate some of its activities from Vilvoorde, Hoogstraten, Lokeren to the plant in Tournai.
