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.
Irish supermarket chain SuperValu has announced that it will create 400 jobs in 2011 - thereby expanding its current workforce of 15,000. Supervalu said that it would be opening two new stores and extending and refurbishing a further 34 as part of an investment programme worth more than €25m. The new stores will be at Mountmellick, Co Laois, and Manorhamilton, Co Leitrim.
