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.
Facebook plans to hire 1,000 people in Ireland in 2019. The jobs are in engineering, safety, legal, policy, marketing and sales.
The recruitment will bring Facebook's employment level in Ireland to 5,000. The company is currently renovating its new campus in Ballsbridge, Dublin. When renovation works are complete, the campus will have capacity for 7,000 employees. The existing 2,000 strong workforce of Facebook in Dublin are planned to move to the new bigger premises by 2022 - as well as new recruits.
