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 manufacturer of poultrymeat products, Tulip Food Company under Danish Crown, is closing its factory in Sdr. Borup, making 170 employees redundant. They were informed about the closure at a meeting with the management 28 August 2009. The factory will stop the production at the end of December. Tulip will then have six factories left in Denmark, two in Germany and one in Sweden employing around 2,000 persons.
