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.
American-owned computer chip manufacturer Intel has announced up to 300 redundancies at its huge Kildare plant. The redundancies are to take effect by the end of June. The news follows a recent comment by the company's chairman that there was no immediate danger of job losses in Ireland. It is understood the redundancies will be voluntary.
