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.
As announced on September 4, Finnish-Swedish pulp and paper manufacturer Stora Enso will cut 50 jobs in Karlsruhe (Baden-Württemberg) by 2015.
This is in line with Stora Enso’s plans to axe 2,500 jobs worldwide (see Stora Enso 2013). In 2010, the company had already discontinued parts of its production in Karlsruhe, resulting in 170 job cuts at the end of 2012.
