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.
Delphi Slovensko, a subsidiary of American Delphi Company in Senica, will dismiss 85 out of 700 employees by the end of 2012.
The company produces wire harnesses for the automotive industry. The redundancies are attributed to a decline in orders from Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz. According to Ján Kovár, from the local employment office, the next round of dismissals is expected in 2014.
