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 17 August publisher De Gule Sider (The Yellow Pages) announced that 150 employees or 40% of all staff will be made redundant. The management blames the redundancies on decreasing sales. Some 130 of the redundant workers are members of the Danish Metalworkers Union, which will take initiatives to help them.
