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.
Poultry processing company Hydina Slovensko in Lieskovec, near Zvolen, plans to dismiss all 314 employees. The company reported the decision to the local office of the public employment service. According to reports, dismissals are expected to be completed by 1 October 2019. There is no information yet about the causes of the redundancies, but a collective dismissal is planned in another poultry company Podtatranská hydina in Kezmarok.
