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 manufacturer of medical products, Recipharm, is planning cuts of around 100 jobs in the Stockholm region. According to CEO Thomas Eldered, the main reason for the cuts is the current low demand for some of the company's products. The company currently employs 2,200 workers.
