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 November 28th 2010, the pharmacuetical company, Sanofi, announced plans to layoff 227 workers at its sites across Spain. The company will begin negotiations over the lay-offs with unions immidiately because the company has suffered a 35% drop in revenue in Spain over the last two years.
