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.
Hemfrid i Sverige AB, a firm that offers cleaning services for firms and private individuals, has announced that it is to create 170 new jobs. The firm currently employs 500. The impetus for the job creation by the firm comes from a decision by the Swedish Government in 2007 to grant certain tax exemptions to firms operating within the sector. The new jobs are expected to be created between July 2007 and October 2007.
