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.
Working and protective clothing manufacturer Fristads will dismiss 79 employees in Borås. The dismissals are not due to the economic downturn but are a consequence of warehouse rationalisation within the group. The group wants to reorganize their inventory into one unit and their stock to be handled in the future by an external partner.
