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.
Bentley, a car manufacturer, has announced that it is to cut 220 jobs at its factory in Crewe. The firm, which employs 3,800 people, will also impose a 10% pay cut on those staff that remain. The cuts come as a result of decreased demand for cars. The jobs are expected to be cut by 10 May 2009.
