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.
German engineering company Siag will close its site in Massen (Brandenburg) and thus make 160 people redundant. This is due to insolvency.
To date, the company failed to find a new investor. Job cuts shall be implemented by the end of July. Other sites of Siag are not being affected and the company will then employ 600 people in total.
