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 7 October 2011, Danish multinational abattoir Danish Crown announced that 250 employees on permanent contracts will be made redundant. The reason is the lack of delivery of pigs from farmers to the abattoirs. The redundancies will take place in four abattoirs in Esbjerg, Blans, Ringsted and Rønne.
