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.
ForestCov has announced a planned reduction of 200 staff. ForestCov is in the wood and timber industry. Criteria for selecting those to be made redundant are being discussed with union representatives. The job cuts are reported to be due to changes in legislation which limit the entitlement to exploit wood and forestry resources.
