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.
Nissan, multinational car maker headquartered in Japan, has announced that it is to create an additional 400 jobs at its factory in Sunderland. The company laid out plans to make a new vehicle at the plant.
It is anticipated that around 1,600 indirect jobs would also be created in the supply chain.
A timeline for the business expansion is not yet known.
