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.
Bombardier, an engineering firm that operates in the aerospace sector, has announced that it is to create 200 jobs at its site in Belfast which currently employs 5,000 workers. The company stated that the jobs will be related to their new programme making aircraft wings. As of 26 October 2008, it is not known when these jobs will start, although the company has already started to advertise them.
