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.
Fujitsu Finland, the Finnish branch of Japaneese ICT-company Fujitsu, has initiated employer-employee negotiations which aim to cut 130 jobs. The redundancies are due to fewer orders than expected as well as lowered prices. 1,120 employees are concerned by the negotiations and Fujistu Finland must save a total of €6.5 million.
UPDATE 03/03/2016:Following concluded employer-employee negotiations 75 people will be made redundant at Fujistu Finland. The number of redundancies could be reduced through internal recruitment, pension arrangements and by scaling down the use of outsourcing.
