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.
Electrical goods chain Laser announced plans to cut 140 jobs in Northern Ireland. The company went into administration last week, but on 9 April KPMG announced that the business could not be saved. Most of the employees have already been made redundant while a number have been retained to assist with the orderly closure of the company.
