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 dismissals follow the firm going into administration at the end of July 2007 due to financial difficulties.
