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.
Internorm, an Austrian manufacturer of doors and windows, has announced to create 200 new jobs at the company's site in Traun over the next two years. During this time, the company will invest €160 millions in the expansion of production capacities, product innovations and digitalisation. In 2021, the company's turnover has increased by 14 percent to a total of €421 millions. CEO Johann Brandstetter names the increasing demand of living comfort as well as the increasing demand of energy-efficient products to be the reasons for success.
