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.
Food company HKScan plans to reduce 200 jobs in Finland at its Ruokatalo business due to weaker results than were forecast.
According to HKScan the basic reason for business difficulties is increased price competition before the EU poultry directive change which comes into force in May and decreasing demand for pork and beef.
