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.
Construction firm Donaghy has collapsed resulting in the loss of 175 jobs. The collapse was blamed on severe cash flow problems. A total of 10 staff has been kept on to help safeguard the company's assets.
Administrators KPMG are working to ensure that the remaining contracts with Donaghy customers will be completed or transferred to third parties.
