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.
Jan De Nul, an international dredging company, has announced it is looking for approximately 400 new employees, mainly engineering professionals. The company has expressed fears that the search for appropriate employees will be difficult as other sectors, for example the construction and chemical sectors, are looking to recruit individuals with the same profiles.
