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.
British aerospace company Rolls-Royce has announced that it will create over 300 new jobs worldwide.
About 100 jobs will be based in Germany, and the remaining 200 in the UK. The investment, which includes the recruitment of more than 300 front-line operations roles, is a response to rising long-term demand for new civil large engines. The company is to invest €61.84 million in its assembly, test and shop visit capacity at its sites.
Rolls-Royce operates in 48 countries and employs about 50,000 people worldwide.
