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.
ITV, a television broadcaster, is to make 600 redundancies across the UK. The announcement comes less than six months after ITV made 1000 redundancies, reducing its workforce from 5,500 to 4,500. The cuts will be made across the UK, with the biggest single cut of around 150 jobs coming in Leeds as the Yorkshire TV studio is closed. The cuts are being made as the company faces reduced revenues from advertising. As of 8 March 2009 no date has been given for the implementation of these job cuts.
