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.
UK supermarket chain Morrisons has announced the creation of 200 jobs. Expansion of the supermarket's meat processing plant at Winsford, Cheshire will result in a range of new positions from production operatives to managerial and engineering staff. The facility which Morrisons took over from Vion foods in 2012 will expand the volume of its meat production.
This follows on from previous announcements of expansion in the company's manufacturing capacity, and expansion of its retail operations through the creation of new smaller convenience stores.
