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 Tønder announced on 2 November 2010 that 200 jobs will be cut during 2011 and 2012 due to budget cutbacks. The job cuts will be implemented through dismissals as well as natural wastage. From December 2010 until end of May 2011, 40 employees in administration and in the social and health sector will be dismissed. After the implementation of a new national school reform a so far unknown number will be made redundant during spring 2011. The rest of the job losses will be implemented by means of natural wastage.
