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.
Construction company Opway announced that it has initiated a collective dismissal procedure affecting 65 employees (of a total of 600). The job losses are blamed on the difficult market situation. The president of the company said that this measure is not going to endanger the company's operation in the short and medium term.
