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.
Truck part producer Polytec closes and relocates its Automotive Composites Division from Ljungby, Sweden, to Germany cutting 116 out of 140 jobs. This is due to the low number of orders received by the truck manufacturers to whom Polytec supplies components. The relocation will be carried out gradually during 2009.
