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.
Adria Mobil, a manufacturer of caravans, motorhomes and mobile homes based in Novo Mesto (Jugovzhodna region), will create 200 new jobs this year due to higher sales in 2016. The company, which is owned by ACH group from Ljubljana, increased its sales by 8 per cent in the last 12 months. Sales orders are also higher that those recorded during the same period last year (28 per cent more). New workers will be employed in production, marketing, development, and sales department. Adria Mobil now employs 565 workers and will increase this number by 200 very shortly.
