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.
Dublin-based private healthcare provider Centric Health has announced an expansion of its operations that it envisages will lead to the creation of 200 new jobs. The jobs are linked to plans for 10 new primary healthcare centres and the expansion of the company’s diagnostics business. Centric Health presently employs 350 staff, but the expansion will push this total to over 500, it is envisaged. The organization already has 10 primary care and General Practitioner sites across the Republic of Ireland.
