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.
The electric retailer Electro Dépôt has announced it will open at least eight new stores in 2011, each with an average of 20 employees. In the next two years the company expect to create a further 500 jobs. At present, the retailer has 34 stores and expects this to increase to 100 stores by 2017.
