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 producer of electricity, Dong Energy, which employs 6,000 in Denmark, announced plans to fire 275 employees at its sites in Denmark. The redundancies will mainly affect engineers and employees in technical support functions, says Dong Energy. The affected employees will be notified at the end of November after negotiations between management and the employees unions.
