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 new management of travel agency company Marsans has announced that it plans to make 1200-1500 workers redundant. The management has met the workers' committee to start to negotiate a redundancy procedure that aims to reduce the 2,079 staff to between 600 and 900. These dismissals are considered essential by the group to make the company commercially viable.
