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.
In October 2012, IT company GG Network announced plans to reduce its workforce by 20%, which will result in 60 dismissals.
The dismissals are part of a restructuring programme carried out in order to improve the financial situation of GG Network. The company is the owner of the popular Polish instant messaging service Gadu-Gadu.
