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.
French subsidiary of the Danish pharmaceutical group Lundbeck has announced to cut 200 of its 420 positions in its commercial department.
This reorganisation happens in the framework of a European restructuring affecting 600 positions (see here) reported to be due to price decreases initiated by health authorities. The management has started negotiations of a voluntary departure plan.
