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 iron mining company LKAB has announced the creation of 500 new jobs in Svappavaara where they are opening two new iron ore mines. As Svappavaara has a relatively low unemployment the recruitment process will target all of the Norrland region.
LKAB is government owned and employs around 4,100 people of which 600 are outside of Sweden. Earlier this year LKAB announced another business expansion in Mertainen.
