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.
Telecommunications company BT is planning to dismiss 107 employees in Spain. This amounts to about 11 pc of the total workforce in Spain.
Reportedly, this is due to economic and organisational reasons.
Most of the employees are located in Madrid, but the company has also job centres in Barcelona, Bilbao, Coruña, Sevilla and Valencia.
The measures will be discussed with the unions in the following month.
