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.
International Cuisine Ltd, a company specialising in chilled ready meals, has announced that it is to create 150 new jobs. The jobs range from shop floor to management roles across their operations. The company has attributed the move to rapidly growing demand. They are moving from a 3 shift, 5 day work pattern to a 24/7 operation.
