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.
Drůbežárny Xaverov, a poultry slaughter house, has announced that it is to close its site in Prague with the loss of 408 jobs. The job losses and closure of the plant will be implemented by the end of 2007. Sources have speculated that the closure of the firm, with a 15 per cent share of the Czech market in chicken meat, may cause the price of chicken meat in Czech Republic to rise.
