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.
De Persgroep, a Belgian media company, announced it will restructure several departments involved in job advertising and recruitment. This will result in the loss of 107 jobs.
The weekly magazine "Intermediair" will be restyled and several internet sites for job advertising will be merged or closed down. The announcement came shortly after VNU Media (the initial owner of Intermediair) was taken over by De Persgroep.
