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.
On 16 September 2010 consultancy firm BMC announced that it will eliminate 140 jobs, which represents about 10% of its total workforce. BMC employs consultants that work with local municipalities. In 2009, BMC still employed 1,800 consultants. Following the new measures, some 1,500 employees will remain in the company.
