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.
On 3 May 2012 a Danish passenger air transport company, Cimber Sterling, filed for bankruptcy to the court in Sønderborg. All 600 employees - aircraft mechanics, cabin crew, pilots and administrative employees - will be made redundant.
Other airliners have already shown interest in the dismissed employees, among others Jet Time that will presumably take over between 80 and 100 pilots, cabin crew and technical staff.
