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.
Ulster Bank, part of Royal Bank of Scotland, has announced plans to cut 200 jobs in Northern Ireland. The job losses will be implemented through voluntary means. The bank plans to layoff another 550 employees in the Republic of Ireland. As of January 2009 no date has been given for the implementation of the cuts.
