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.
Newcastle-based company, Danieli Holdings, has announced that it is to create 600 new jobs following a refinancing package from the Allied Irish Bank (GB). The company operates in the security, healthcare, training and property development sectors, though the job creation will be in its Phoenix Eye security business. New Phoenix Eye offices will be opened in 2015 in Leeds, Edinburgh, Birmingham and London. 1,200 people are already employed in the Phoenix Eye section of the business, so the anticipated job creation will boost the company by 50%.
