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.
Care home provider Connected Health has announced plans to create 200 new jobs in Northern Ireland, with the majority of these being in the Belfast and North Down areas. The company already employs 450 staff across Northern Ireland as well as a further 110 staff in the Republic of Ireland. The announcement of the new jobs is tied in to the company's new training academy which has recently opened and will allow training to HND and foundation degree level. A spokesperson for the business stated that they are committed to training and development of staff and to progression within the business. There is no information on when all of the new positions are expected to be filled.
