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 25 March 2010 agricultural company 'Agrowill group' announced internal restructure plan involving 320 redundancies. The total workforce of 800 people will be shredded by 40% and the managerial wages will be reduced by 15%. The mass redundancy measurements were introduced because of 7.4 million Litas (2.15 million Euro) financial loss the company had in 2008.
