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.
The multinational computer programming company, Intel, informed on the 15th of August 2018 the personnel at Intel's department in Aalborg that all activities will be shut down. This means that 200 high technological jobs, mainly engineers, will be lost in the region of Northern Jutland. The programming tasks will be moved to others of Intel's departments around the world.
The group employs around 100,000 employees worldwide, with its headquarters based in the United States.
