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 Municipality of Odder (Odder Kommune) announced May 2010 that 126 jobs will be cut. Of these, only 86 will be dismissed because a number of jobs will not be refilled and a number of employees will retire. The redundancies are part of a total cut down of DKK 50 million (€ 7 million). The redundancies will be made in most parts of the administration of the municipality. Odder Kommune has 22,500 inhabiatnts and is the smallest in Jutland.
