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.
Veeam, a Swiss software company, has announced plans to invest €132 million in expanding its Research and Development Centre in Prague, creating up to 500 new jobs there within the next five years. The company’s investment will be focused on the development of the market-leading Intelligent Data Management platform by prioritising recruitment of high-tech roles including product management, software engineering and quality control.
As of March 2019, the site employs over 100 people. Worldwide, Veeam has more than 3,600 employees.
