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 mobile phone manufacturer Ericsson has announced the closure of its development site in Struer where 200 employees will be made redundant. This was announced by the management on 10 November 2009. Ericsson will concentrate the development activities in fewer sites. Negotiations with the employees' representatives have already started.
