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.
Newspaper group NDC Mediagroup announced it will cut 100 to 105 jobs by 01 July 2015. The reason for the restructuring is the continuing loss of readers of printed newspapers, and the drop of income from advertisements. The new internet activities do not compensate sufficiently for this loss, thus job cuts are needed.
