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.
Online store MALL.CZ has announced the creation of 150 new jobs in the new distribution centre in Jirny (near the city of Prague) that will be opened in mid-October 2015. Warehouse operators will occupy 110 of the 150 positions opened. The rest of the vacancies are intended for administrative staff, maintenance technicians and shift leaders. The company which employs 700 people across the Czech Republic has already started recruitment. The centre will have a total area of 30,000m2 with a possible extension of a further 20 000m2.
