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.

The ailing J Sainsbury supermarket is cutting 750 head office jobs to save cash and hiring an additional 3,000 staff to improve service levels in the group's 721 stores. Other moves include halving the dividend paid to shareholders, rolling back plans to sell a wide variety of homewares and re-opening an old depot to help get goods into the shops and ‘save Christmas'. Chief executive Justin King is to plough £400 million of cost-savings into improving food quality and cutting prices as the chain tries to compete with market leaders Tesco and Asda and reassert its position.
