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.
On 19 November 2013, Dutch company Weekbladpers Groep (WPG) announced plans to reduce its Dutch and Belgian workforce substantially. The restructuring measures involve the loss of 100 full-time equivalent positions by the end of 2014, which will affect 123 workers.
The publishing group currently employs around 720 staff.
