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.
More than 370 workers at a Wearside furniture firm are to be made redundant after attempts to find a buyer failed. Last month Sunderland-based Stag Furniture went into administration and cut 180 jobs after making losses of £10m in three years.
Trading will cease in the next few weeks because it was unable to find anyone to take over.
