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.
Český rozhlas (Czech Radio), a national broadcasting company, is to reduce its workforce by 15 to 20 per cent, i.e. about 300 out of a total 1,500 jobs. The reductions will take place over the next three years and stem from the planned reduction in the number of radio stations.
According to the general director Peter Duhan, the planned layoffs will lead to the growth of average wages of current workers.
