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 18 January 2012, Scandinavian airline company SAS announced plans to cut 300 jobs of which 100 in Denmark. The number of direct dismissals and the timeline is not yet known.
SAS stated that it will first assess how many jobs can be cut through natural attrition alone before deciding the number of dismissals.
