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.
German textile company DTF will close down its plant in Papenburg-Aschendorf (Lower Saxony) and thus make about 300 people redundant by December 2013.
The measure is due to insolvency. According to reports, it is unlikely that DTF will find an investor to save the plant.
The site in Aschendorf formerly was owned by ADO.
