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.
Terumo BCT, a Japanese-owned manufacturer of medical devices, will create 416 new jobs in Larne, County Antrim in Northern Ireland. The new positions are supported by over £2m from Invest NI. Part of the funds will contribute to the plant's engagement into research and development. As of 23 June 2013, no timeline has been announced for the implementation of the new jobs.
