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.
Podtatranska hydina, a poultry house in Kezmarok, announced the collective dismissals of all 249 employees. According to the company director Marián Janoščík dismissals are linked to the liquidation of almost 400,000 chickens as demanded by state authorities in 2011. The dismissals will start in April 2012.
