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 18 March 2011, the retail company Coop Sverige announced its plan to create 140 warehouse jobs in Sweden; 100 in Upplands-Bro and 40 in Västerås. The job losses are blamed on declining sales. Coop Nordic is restructuring their organisation. Coop runs several different retail chains (e.g. Coop Forum, Coop Extra and Coop Konsum).
