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.

Danish fintech company Pleo is laying off 100 employees at its Copenhagen office, representing 12.5% of its total workforce of 850. The layoffs have been initiated, with no official end date announced. They will mainly affect the company's commercial department.
There is currently no mention of whether workers' unions are involved in the dismissal process or what it will look like.
By shifting focus from direct sales to strategic partnerships, the restructuring aims to accelerate business growth.
CEO and founder Jeppe Rindom stated that instead of using human resources, Pleo will rely on its product and technology to serve smaller customers, with the aim of increasing its customer base to 120,000.
