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.
UniCredit, an Italian banking group, has announced that it will create about 225 jobs in Europe, 25 of which have been created already in digital teams across Italy, Germany, and Poland. A further 140 jobs in Germany Unicredit 2025-DE and 60 in Italy are to follow, as part of its strategy to streamline post-trade securities services.
The bank has entered partnerships with BNP Paribas for custody services and with FNZ for a cloud-based platform to support back-office and digital operations. UniCredit aims to standardise structures in Italy and Germany and become more operationally efficient.
Founded in 1998, UniCredit employs about 69,000 worldwide, with a strong presence in Europe
