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.
The private security company Prosegur plans to dismiss 1,500 workers in Spain.
This is part of a cost-savings plan including also wage cuts by 5% - this means that the company is opting out of a national collective agreement in the sector.
The unions have announced various demonstrations to protest against the measure.
