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 Romanian government has announced that the state-controlled electricity provider Electrica Serv will lay off 600 employees in 2011 as part of a sector-wide restructuring.
The decision has been announced by the Ministry of Economy, Commerce and Business Environment on 16 June 2011. The dismissed workers will receive a compensatory payment of EUR 4,000 in 2011 and 2012.
