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.
On 14 October 2008, the Califorina-based Signet Solar, manufacturer of equipment for the production of solar energy, announced the creation of 270 new jobs at its plant in Mochau (Saxony). The job creation is attributed to the decision to increase production. The new jobs are expected to be created by the end of 2009.
