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 first wave of dismissals is scheduled for May (135 workers) and the second in August (365 workers). At the beginning of 2009, the company had 3,470 employees.
