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 27 October 2010, the airline Ryanair announced its plan to cut 150 jobs at Frankfurt-Hahn airport. Among affected are pilots and cabin crew. The job cuts follow German government's decision to introduce a tourist tax (8 euro) on flights. Ryanair has stated to reduce its flights and routes from Germany to other destinations.
