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.
Volkswagen's Czech unit Škoda Auto plans to cut 2,440 jobs in 2010 due to the slowdown in customer orders as the car scrappage incentive scheme in Germany is coming soon to an end. The job cuts will affect temporary agency workers. The company has three manufacturing plants (Mladá Boleslav-headquarters, Kvasiny, Vrchlabí) and employs 24,790 workers.
