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 Spanish fashion conglomerate Inditex has announced the creation of 250 jobs in Zaragoza at its new warehouse. The construction of a new warehouse for Inditex at the Zaragoza Logistics Platform, representing an investment of 80 million euros, is underway. The new warehouse will increase the distribution capacity of womenswear from Zaragoza to all the company's shops worldwide by 20%. The completion of the new warehouse is scheduled for the end of 2023, and the company expects to generate around 250 jobs in addition to the current 1,750 permanent jobs in Zaragoza.
