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.
British Airline Flybe has announced that it is to cut around 300 jobs in the UK. The company follows moves by other European airlines, which have also cut costs and headcount. The restructuring is blamed on lower demand resulting from the euro zone crisis.
A timeline for the restructuring has not yet been given.
