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 28 October, the Municipality of Høje-Tåstrup outside of Copenhagen announced their intention to cut 151 jobs starting in November 2010 due to budget cuts. In the first phase 91 jobs will be cut, of which only 40 will be directly dismissed. The remaining 60 jobs will affect the education departement, however the municipality awaites a new structural reform due in February 2011 in education before the redundancies are decided.
