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.
Gruppo Editoriale l’Espresso, one of Italy’s leading publishing groups, is to cut 70 jobs (out of 270) in its printing division. The trade unions reacted to the company’s decision by going on strike and announcing other protest actions. They have required alternative measures to the job cuts, such as the recourse to solidarity agreements.
