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 multinational corporation, Kinetic Concepts, announced its intention open a global transaction services center in Budapest which would create 100 jobs in 2011.
KCI is a worldwide provider of advanced healing technologies and a wide spectrum of innovative products that aim to improve clinical outcomes, while helping to reduce the overall costs of care. KCI is world-wide operating company; the center in Hungary will be responsible for all operations in finance and administration. The company first plans to hire 50 highly educated multilingual professionals on a 2400 square meter establishment, which will be enlarged to 4200 square meter next year when reaching the planned 100 employees at the shared service center.
