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.
Slovak civil engineering company, Cestne stavby Liptovsky Mikulas, plans to dismiss 230 out of 270 employees by the end of 2012.
Redundancies are said to be caused by high operational costs of the company. Dismissals are also attributed to a significant price reduction in the public road engineering sector, in which the company operates. The company is also reported to have significant debt at the social insurance agency.
