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.
As a consequence of the merger with Atos Origin's Nordic operations, WM-data has initiated negotiations with trade unions regarding the lay-off of approximately 300 employees in Sweden. The redundancy plan is expected to cost some SEK 175 million and to have a positive effect on earnings with slightly more than SEK 150 million per year.
