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.
As announced on 1 October 2014, German hospital Uniklinikum Schleswig-Holstein (UKSH) will cut 450 jobs by 2019. The management excluded operational dismissals and intends to reduce jobs by not refilling vacant positions. 263 jobs will be cut in Kiel and 187 in Lübeck.
In total, UKSH currently employs 7,200 people.
