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.
Global manufacturer of solar energy products Isofoton is to apply for a redundancy procedure (ERE) affecting its entire workforce (296 employees).
As announced, the company plans to keep some of its workforce until its closure by introducing wage cuts (30-40pc).
In June 2013 the company applied for a redundancy procedure that affected 354 employees.
