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 Coca Cola Company announced a cut of 150 jobs throughout its European branches. The job losses are part of a large restructuring affecting its European activities. The company is to consolidate its European marketing operations. These are separated from the production activities of Coca Cola Enterprises (i.e. bottling, distribution and sale activities) where no jobs will be lost.
