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.
Franco-American joint venture Alcatel-Lucent is to cut 520 jobs in Germany by the end of 2015. This is due to a global cost-saving restructuring plan.
Currently, the company employs 3,050 people in Germany.
For previous restructuring in Germany see Alcatel-Lucent-DE2012 and Alcatel-Lucent-DE2007.
UPDATE 2013-11-20: The number of job cuts has been reduced to 420. The company aims to avoid forced redundancies.
