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.
The Art Group, a publishing company, has made nearly 300 people redundant after it went into administration earlier this week. Most of the redundancies are at the Brackmills printing site, while 30 staff were made redundant at the London office. A skeleton staff will remain to assist administrators in the hope of finding a buyer for the business.
