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.
Meat company, Rosderra Irish Meats, has announced 120 new jobs at a pigmeat processing plant in Edenderry, Co Offaly. The new jobs will result from the reconstruction of a part of processing plant that was seriously damaged by a fire in August 2007. In the shorter-term, 50-60 new jobs will be created by November 2008. Eventually, it is envisaged that the plant will employ 120.
