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.
London Underground has announced plans to cut 400 office and management jobs and leave an equivalent number of vacancies unfilled. The announcement comes after the second of a series of strikes in protest at 800 ticket office jobs the company previously said it will cut. The mediating service Acas has sent out a formal invitation to the company, the RMT union and the Transport Salaried Staffs Association to attend fresh talks to resolve the dispute.
