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.
Czech cosmetics and perfumes online retailer Notino (formerly Parfums.cz) is to create between 100 and 150 new jobs in 2017 when expanding its business activity across Europe (especially in Germany) and opening new stone shops in the Czech Republic. The company expects its revenues to reach CZK 7.40bn (EUR 274.69mn) and intends to invest some CZK 200mn (EUR 7.471mn). Notino plans large investment into modernisation of its IT system, having opened a new R&D centre in Ostrava and new offices in Prague. Within five years, the company would like to have fifty stores in the countries where it operates.
