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.
Crisps maker Walkers has announced that it is to create 110 jobs at its UK sites. The £15.2m investment will add a new production line at its Leicester site, which currently employs over 2,000 people. It is so far unclear when the new people will be hired.
Walkers is part of the US American multinational corporation PepsiCo.
