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.
Renewable energy company Airtricity has announced the creation of 200 new jobs in Ireland by the end of July 2009. The company says 50 of the jobs will be at its Dublin headquarters and the remaining 150 will be through indirect contracts (outsourced roles). The new positions will be in sales, customer support, billing and support services. Airtricity will compete with state companies ESB and Bord Gáis to supply electricity to homes in Ireland.
