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.
The Romanian branch of Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) notified 350 employees from its retail division about the company's intention to dismiss them. The bank representatives announced that the measure is a result of a business redesign process.
In 2011 RBS employed 1,032 people in Romania. The exact timeline for the restructuring is yet to be announced.
