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 Herald and Times Group, a newspaper publisher, has announced that it has made all 250 of its journalists and publishing staff redundant. The company, based in Glasgow, said it could rehire up to 220 of these staff if they accepted different terms and conditions. The company plans to advertise these new jobs in 30 days’ time.
