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.
Defense contractor General Dynamics UK has announced that it is to make 185 redundancies. The firm has said that it hopes to make the redundancies by voluntary means, but will make compulsory redundancies if it is not able to reach the target through voluntary redundancies. The timeline for the restructuring is not yet available.
