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.
Airbus, the European multinational aerospace corporation has announced its plans to hire worldwide 13,000 people by 2023, 1,300 of them in Spain. This announcement responds to the expected increase in production ratios in all areas where Airbus operates, i.e. commercial aircraft, space, defence and helicopters. The majority of Airbus' job opportunities will be related to technical and manufacturing profiles, including new emerging areas such as renewable energies, cybersecurity and digital skills. It is expected that one third of the total recruitments will go to recent graduates.
