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.
Madeta, the largest Czech diary supplier, has announced 100 cuts to its 1,700 person workforce by mid-2011 due to the global financial crisis. About 168 workers have already been dismissed this year. The company's restructuring plan also includes the closure of two out of their six diary plants. As of October 2010, there is no information on which factories will be affected.
