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.
Esselunga, one of the main Italian companies operating in the large-scale retail trade, is to create 2,000 new jobs in the 2014-15 period. The planned job creation arises from a new business plan that envisages the opening of new supermarkets in Italy (the next new openings will be in Florence, Rome and Turin). Esselunga operates 144 supermarkets and hasĀ around 20,600 employees in Italy.
