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.
Polish restaurant and coffee shop operator AmRest, which owns the Starbucks franchise in Romania, has announced the opening of new coffee shops in 2017 and 2018. This business expansion will result in the creation of 500 new jobs by the end of 2018.
As of 2016, the company has an employee base of 500 and a network of 28 coffee shops across seven cities in Romania.
