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.
Swedish furniture retailer IKEA plans to hire at least 100 new workers in 2014. This is due to the company’s plans to expand its business activities in the Czech Republic.
The Swedish company operates in the Czech Republic since 1991. As of January 2014, IKEA owned and operated 349 stores in 43 countries, employing about 140,000 people.
