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 aircraft manufacturer Airbus is to hire 1,200 people until the end of 2011. The new jobs will be created in both production and research departments.
Airbus has recorded 1038 net orders for aircrafts from January to September, which accounts for the equivalent of two years of production. It has to increase its production rates and will open a new assembly plant for its A350 at the end of the year.
