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.
The e-commerce giant Amazon announced it will open a new distribution centre in San Salvo, province of Chieti, in 2022. As a result, additional 1,000 permanent jobs will be created within three years of its opening.
The new positions created will add to the 3,000 permanent jobs that Amazon has already created in 2021. This new investment is expected to bring the company's total workforce in Italy to 13,500 workers.
