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.
On 31 January Swedish-Finnish telecommunications company TeliaSonera announced its plans to cut around 1,800 jobs. These job cuts form part of a previously announced cost reduction strategy and will affect employees in the company’s Nordic and Baltic subsidiaries. The company also said that it is planning to create new posts in the near future.
The company currently employs around 28,000 staff and operates across 16 countries. TeliaSonera has carried out a number of job reduction measures during the last years (see here and here).
