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.
Publishing company Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung (WAZ) announced that it is to merge the publishing of three regional newspapers to save € 32 million in costs. In 2009, 300 out of 900 jobs will be axed at the three regional newspapers affecting journalists and photographers. There will be no direct dismissals, the company says.
