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.
On 24 November 2009, former Danish Telecom TDC announced that it is to cut 250 jobs in the department of 'Installation' in 2010. There is no information on when the job cuts will be implemented by.
TDC showed a surplus of approximately € 275 million in the third quarter of 2009. The trade union representatives in Danish Metalworkers Union dissociate themselves from this decision. The job losses are considered unnecessary as the company has reported excellent quarterly financial results.
