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.
Electrical retailer Comet has confirmed plans to close its Hull call centre with the loss of 240 jobs as part of a wider restructuring programme. The company said it would help those affected to find new jobs. As of April 2012, no date has been given for the closure.
