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 1 December 2010, the daily Frankfurter Rundschau reported the loss of 110 jobs at the pharmaceutical company Sanofi-Aventis. Affected jobs are at its development site in Kastengrund, where some 190 employees are working. The site will be closed down in 2011. 110 jobs will be cut and the remaining staff members will be transferred to the company's industrial park in Hoechst.
