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.
On 8 March 2007 Wolfgang Mayrhuber, chairman of the board of Deutsche Lufthansa AG announced the creation of 3,000 new jobs until the end of 2007. The aviation group stated in a press conference that in 2006 revenue increased by almost 10% to reach 19.8 billion Euro and it is seeking to continue this growth trend. Creating new jobs is part of the business expansion strategy of Lufthansa. The company currently employs 94,510 employees worldwide.
