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.
Finnair, the largest airline in Finland, has announced plans to cut up to 155 jobs from administration and marketing. The company is initiating negotiations with employee representatives on the proposed cuts.
Finnair is a publicly traded company, but the Finnish government owns a majority of its shares. The announced redundancies are part of its longer process of cost-cutting and re-organisation, similar to what many other airlines have been going through.
