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.
Centrotherm, a leading technology and equipment provider for the photovoltaic sector, is to cut 320 posts in Southern Germany. The cuts include 20 jobs at a newly established research centre at Konstanz. The restructuring decision is taken as to a decrease in public financial support for the photovoltaic sector.
