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.
The financial service provider Deutsche Bank has announced it will create 400 new jobs by the end of 2018. New employees will be working in compliance, controlling and supporting the fight against internal financial crime.
As of April 2018, Deutsche Bank has 2,600 employees working in compliance. According to the Compliance chairwoman, increasing the number of employees fits into Deutsche Bank's policy for sustainable growth by ensuring that profits made in the present are compliant with the rules and will not at a later date incur financial penalties.
