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.
Swiss chemical company Roche will cut 150 posts out of 7547 at the Mannheim plant. The workforce reduction plans include 70 positions in IT services and 80 positions in the so-called 'agency unit', which is in charge of supervising sales in foreign countries. The latter will be delocated to eastern and southern European member states.
