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 Spanish engineering and consultancy company INYPSA will apply for a redundancy procedure affecting 48 employees (around 22% of its entire workforce in Spain). As announced the measure is due to the current domestic economic situation. Most of the job cuts are expected to take place in the company’s headquarters.
Last year the company implemented a restructuring plan with temporary dismissals and a modification of the working conditions.
