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.
Anvia, a Finnish operator wired telecommunication services, has announced redundancies of up to 70 employees. The company is initiating negotiations with employee representatives on the cuts.
As reasons for the proposed redundancies Anvia cites economic downturn, reduced demand for fixed-line phone services, and increased competition from wireless broadband services.
