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 Town Council of Los Barrios (Cádiz) has presented a redundancy procedure affecting 178 workers (39% of its entire workforce). The measure will affect both temporary and permanent workers, including those working for the public enterprise "Iniciativas Los Barrios".
The measure is said to be necessary due to the negative macroeconomic situation.
