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.
KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken), a multinational fast food chain specialising in fried chicken, announced that, thanks to its significant successes (a growth of 70% compared to 2021), it will carry out new openings in the next 20 months (of which 30% with Drive Thru service, 30% placed in food courts of shopping centres and 40% in city centres).
These openings are expected to lead to about 500 new jobs in 2023 with the goal of reaching 5,000 within five years.
