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.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is planning to create 1,000 new jobs, over the next two years, in Dublin.
The jobs will be in software engineering, network engineering, data specialisation and machine learning.
Amazon now has 2,500 employees across Dublin (1,500) and Cork (1,000), having established its presence in Ireland 12 years ago.
The Taoiseach welcomed the AWS job expansion, saying it 'would help Ireland meet its ambition to make Dublin the 'tech capital of Europe'.'
