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.
Manuex, manufacturer of furniture's drawers, is to create 144 jobs by the beginning of 2013. The business expansion will affect the plant located at Quaregna, in the province of Biella, which currently employs 56 workers. The need for new jobs is mainly due to a new supply contract signed with Ikea.
Manuex belongs to the FGV group, furniture manufacturer with 900 employees and plants in Italy, Brazil, China and Slovakia.
