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.
Spanish IT company Oesia plans to reduce its workforce by 400 people (this headcount reduction accounts for 11% of the total workforce). 250 workers will be dismissed through the standard redundancy procedure (ERE) while another 150 workers on fixed-term contracts will not be renewed.
