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.
The state-controlled power generation company Electrocentrale Deva will dismiss 200 employees in 2012, as part of a restructuring programme.
The decision was approved by the Ministry of Economy, Commerce and Business Environment and the affected employees will be offered compensation. Electrocentrale Deva operates under the Ministry of Economy. Furthermore, 100 employees were dismissed a year ago (see here).
