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.
Rolls Royce has announced that it is to cut 220 jobs from its Ansty site after cuts to the defence budget. All the job cuts come from the gas turbine services department which deals with the repair and overhaul of engines used by the armed forces. The job losses will occur by the end of 2012.
