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 wind turbine manufacturer Siemens Windpower has during the last seven months hired around 200 new employees in Denmark, mainly in production, and are currently hiring more, especially in the peripheral regions of the country. This was announced by the trade union 3F on 5 August 2010. Siemens has since 2004 created 3.150 jobs in Denmark, but does not inform about the current total number employed.
