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.
Danish brewing company Carlsberg is to cut 180 jobs worldwide. The cuts, will affect the Danish headquarters and the company's three regional offices (Western Europe, Eastern Europe, and Asia). The job loss represents 20 per cent of the offices workforce. Most of the cuts will be in Denmark. (75 jobs, mostly in administration).
The cuts reflect difficulties in the Russian market, which is central to Carlsberg's business.
Carlsberg employed on average 46,832 people last year, of which 31 per cent were based in Western Europe.
