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.
One of the biggest banks in Lithuania Swedbank intends to dismiss 300 employees by the end of 2009. At the moment Swedbank employs 2990 people. According to the management, the main cause of the dismissals is decreased volume of the services provided in the country. Swedbank has already closed 5 branch offices in Lithuania since the beginning of the year 2009.
