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.
Nissan has announced that it will present a redundancy plan to dismiss 150 workers and reduce the payroll from 650 to 500 workers, 85 through early retirements and 65 through voluntary measures. This was declared in a meeting held by the company management and works council. The company had already presented a temoporary lay-off plan but later withdrew this.
