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.
Swedish publishing company LRF Media, part of Lantbrukarnas Riksförbund, has announced the intention to cut costs by SEK 30 million which will lead to the reduction of 90 positions. The company plans to close its office in Malmö and close several departments in its head office in Stockholm.
LRF Media employs a total of 300 people.
Updated 2015-04-17: As of 10 April 2015 LRF Media has terminated 50 employees of the 90 planned redundancies. There is currently no more information on the timeline of the remaining 40 planned job reductions.
