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.
Dairy Crest has announced it is to close its factory in Yeovil in Somerset with the loss of 260 jobs. The Yoplait Dairy Crest factory is involved with making own-brand products for supermarkets, which the company says is less profitable.
The site is due to close by June 2005, and Dairy Crest is expected to focus on branded products such as Petits Filous.
