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.
Mondadori, one of the main Italian publisher, is to cut 106 jobs (out of 3,861 employees). In July 2009 the company announced a reorganisational plan in order to reduce costs. According to the company, this reduction is due to the negative effects of current economic crisis on the publishing market. The Mondadori Group has more than fifty subsidiary and associated companies, and covers the whole range of publishing activities.
