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 3 November 2010, German company Carthago, which, in 2008, relocated part of its production of motor homes from Germany to Slovenia, announced further expansion and will hire additional 151 workers (see factsheet ID 11407).
The factory is located in Odranci, village in the North-East part Slovenia known for the highest unemployment rate in the country. Initial employment of 150 people has already increased by 41 workers and will further increase by another 110 after finishing the investment in new capacities. Carthago will have a total workforce of 301 by the beginning of 2012.
