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.
Home secretary Annemie Turtelboom announced that only half of the retired federal police forces personnel in 2009 and 2010 will be replaced.
300 new police officers will be recruited in each year to replace 1200 police officers who will be retired by the end of 2010. Trade unions consider that this decision "puts the operational capacity of the federal police and the citizen safety at risk".
