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.
Strabag, the biggest Austrian building company, is to start restructuring which will result in the loss of 250 jobs out of 2,500 across the Czech Republic. The job losses which will be implemented throughout 2011 are blamed on decline in orders. Seasonal workers should be the first affected. Strabag Group was the first major construction company operating cross-border in Europe and currently employs approximately 60,000 people.
