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.
Swedish medtech company Getinge Sterilization has given notice to 70 employees at its site in Halmstad. The reason for the dismissals is that the company will relocate some of its production to China.
Negotiations will be finalised during the autumn.
