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.
Children's care hospital Vesna in the spa Janské Lázně is to cut 55 jobs out of 400 staff by the end of June 2013 due to adverse economic situation. As the number of paediatric patients is declining, the hospital will provide care for both children and adults. The previous planned hospital closure was thus averted.
