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.
Balta, located in Sint-baafs-Vijve and specialized in the manufacture of carpets and rugs, announced its intention to cut 84 jobs.
According to the management, workers in week-end shifts will be especially concerned since their profitability is decreasing. However, Balta wants to limit the number of layoffs by keeping a maximum of workers in the firm through internal mobility.
