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.
In March 2009, Dutch car dealer Kroymans went bankrupt. For several months it was unclear how many employees would lose their jobs. On 8 October 2009, the receiver announced that over half of the 1,000 employees could remain in employment through the sale of parts of the company, while the other 500 will lose their job.
