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.
Car maker Seat is to hire 700 new workers at its site in Martorell (Barcelona) in order to produce the new model of the car Audi Q3. The main reason for the hiring is Seat's attempt to enter a new market segment, the compact SUV. Seat intends to reach a production output of 100,000 cars per year.
