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 9th August 2011, Najadvarvet AB submitted a petition for bankruptcy to the District Court of Uddevalla and informed all 120 employees about it. The company has suffered a major liquidity crisis due to its low sales numbers and misguided ventures of its former owner as well as due to the long-term decline in demand in the boat industry and the on-going difficulties in the financial markets globally, all of which led to the announced bankruptcy.
