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.
TEO LT, one of the largest telecommunications companies in Lithuania, intends to dismiss around 100 employees from their central office in Vilnius by the end of September 2015. According to the management, the main cause of dismissals is an attempt to reduce internal bureaucracy and administrative costs. Nevertheless, the company intends to strengthen their position on the market by employing 30 high-skilled IT specialists. Currently TEO LT employs 1,906 employees.
