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 newspaper publisher Trinity Mirror has started a new round of job cuts, which could see some 750 workers dismissed at its regional and national titles, in a further sign that the industry is struggling. It is understood that Trinity Mirror is looking to remove between 5 and 7% of its 11,000-strong workforce, across its national and regional titles. The company's nationals are led by the Daily Mirror; its regional papers include the Birmingham Evening Mail and the Liverpool Echo. The cuts could include about 150 editorial staff.
