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 Italian textile and energy group Miro Radici which already owned 50% of German garment company Steilmann announced on 27 October 2006 that it would now completely take over the company.
In the course of forthcoming restructurings the company plans to cut between 100 and 120 jobs of a total of 460. Steilmann had faced financial difficulties for a number of years.
