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 4 August 2010, engine manufacturer Tognum reported that it would create 440 jobs by the end of the year. After a decline in orders during the economic crisis, the company has recently started to receive more orders and they therefore need more staff. Tognum currently employs around 8,800 people worldwide.
