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 newly founded automotive supplier Schlote Automotive Italia will start production in its new plant in Nusco, in the Province of Avellino in the South of Italy. By the end of 2022, the company plans to hire 150 workers. Recruitment has already started and the plant will be operational from 1 October 2020.
The company was founded in early 2020 as a joint-venture of three important industrial groups in the automotive sector and will work on gearboxes, clutch boxes and other components in aluminum for the major European car manufacturers.
Satisfaction was expressed by local politicians and employer's association Confindustria.
