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 engineering company Boewe Systec is to cut up to 93 jobs by the end of 2013. 55 of them have already been given notice.
Affected employees will be compensated and will get the opportunity to be employed in a transfer agency.
The company currently employs more than 400 people.
