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.
Swedwood, part of Swedish furniture retailer IKEA, announced that it will open a new plant in Paços de Ferreira in the summer 2011 and create 200 new jobs. The new jobs will be for both skilled and non-skilled workers. The value of the investment is around 30 million euro; this business expansion is expected to have a positive impact on local employment. Most of new employees are from Paços de Ferreira.
