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.
Aida Cruises, a German cruise line, has announced that it is to create 3,000 jobs by 2016 through the expansion of its fleet from currently nine to twelve ships. The new jobs will be created on board and ashore.
The first new cruise liner will set sail in early 2013, with further ones being expected to be operational in 2015 and 2016. The ships are constructed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
