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.
Deutsche Boerse, provider of the Frankfurt stock exchange, announced it will cut 370 jobs at its sites in Frankfurt and Luxembourg. Two-thirds of the jobs are to be relocated to its site in Prague. The job reduction is part of a cost saving plan which is expected to be completed by 2013. Deutsche Boerse hopes that costs will be reduced by €100 million per year from 2013 onwards in an efficiency drive.
