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.
Publishing firm Mediapubli has applied for a labour force adjustment plan affecting 134 staff at its national newspaper Público. This represents 84% of its workforce.
The company filed the application on the 28 February, which will come into force in the following days.
Reportedly, the newspaper, which reached 87,000 readers, was unable to find investors to improve its financial situation and is now forced to cut jobs. Público was launched in 2007.
