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.
Comfort Keepers, a private company that provides home-help care both for Ireland's state run Health Service Executive (HSE) and individuals, has announced 545 new positions in sites across the country. It plans to open two new offices and training centres, resulting in the immediate creation of 6 full-time jobs and 200 part-time carer posts. Furthermore, 19 full-time and 320 part-time carer positions are to be established by the end of 2012 at existing sites across Ireland.
