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.
Danish biotech company Genmab, based in Copenhagen, announced 300 dismissals worldwide, mostly in research and manufacturing. The move is part of a broader restructuring effort to cut €130 million in annual costs, as the company shifts more development work to outside contractors. Job losses will occur in Minnesota, USA (between 130 and 170) and Copenhagen (120).
