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.
STX Europe Florø (Ship-building) has announced that they have to lay-off around 150 employees due to lack of demand for their boats. When they have finished their orders (march 2010), they will try to enter new markets (maintenance). According to Kjetil Bollestad (CEO), STX Florø estimates that they then only will need 60-80 of the workers.
