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.
US car manufacturer Ford will hire 700 new workers in autumn 2015 for its production site in Almussafes (Valencia). Recruitment of new employees is due to the arrival of new models including Mondeo, S-Max and Galaxy. Production volume at the site will be around 400,000 units by the end of the year, which will be 33% more than 2014.
