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.
NTT DATA Italia, a subsidiary of the leading Japanese system integration company NTT Data, is to hire approximately 300 people by the end of 2016 at its Italian sites.
The company operates in 40 countries with 75,000 employees and a 105 billion USD annual turnover. In Italy, NTT DATA is present in eight cities (Milan, Rome, Cosenza, Turin, Pisa, Treviso, Genoa and Naples).
The new employees will be hired mainly with open-ended contracts. The open positions are for managers, consultants, experienced and junior IT professionals.
The company also announced that it will increase the number of female workers, in a view to achieving a more equal male to female ratio.
