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.
Leading provider of betting and gaming, Sky Bet, has announced plans to add to its Leeds workforce, following a rapid expansion in its online betting activities over the previous twelve months. Following a relocation from Harrogate in 2010, the company currently employs 500 staff at its Leeds office. 90 new jobs will be added to the workforce across the technology, product development, marketing and customer service divisions. The timeframe for filling these jobs is not specified but it appears that the recruitment has already started.
