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.
Food producer, Tulip, is seeking to employ 145 staff at its newly expanded site near Bristol. The company is owned by the Danish Crown Group and has its UK headquarters in Warwickshire. The decision to recruit more staff follows expansion at the site at Westerleigh which has been backed by a £16 million investment package. The extra capacity will allow the business to develop its UK markets as well as the lucrative Chinese export market. No timetable for filling the vacancies has been announced.
