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.
Manchester Airports Group, the operator of Manchester Airport, is to cut nearly a third of its staff. The airport has been affected by reduced passenger numbers, and the existing staff of 305 will be reapplying for just 215 new jobs. As of 1 March 2009, no date has been announced for the implementation of these cuts.
