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.
Hilton Malta, which forms part of hotel worldwide chain, announced that it was in the process of recruiting 150 new employees to be added to the 360 it already employs. This is being done in order to cater for its increasing number of clients. The new jobs will be both of a full-time and part-time nature, and will include a variety of occupations relating to the hospitality industry such as waiters, kitchen personnel and cleaners. The hotel’s management stated that in mid April, Hilton Malta will inaugurate an extension of 110 rooms and more facilities for its clients.
