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.
Telecoms services company Allstate Sales Group (ASG) is to create 200 jobs in Waterford and Sligo. Half of the new jobs will be based at WorkLab Waterford and the other 100 at the IT Sligo Campus Innovation Centre. The new jobs are for technical and office professionals, including software developers, CAD/ARC-GIS technicians, management, finance and HR staff. This is the first time ASG is setting up operations outside the USA, having been founded there in 2008. The jobs measures are supported by IDA Ireland. ASG provides services in planning, designing, mapping and building the pathways that telecoms service providers need to connect new voice and data customers.
