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.
Finnish telecommunications company Anvia has initiated employer-employee negotiations aiming to cut 70 job positions. The internal restructuring is due to the company's diminished profitability partly through cost-saving schemes and therefore lowered demand from the public sector. In total the negotiations concern 350 employees, employees working with for example customer service are not affected by the redundancies.
