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.
Fast food chain McDonald's have announced that they will be creating 140 new jobs across two new sites in Liverpool. The restaurant in Church Street will create 65 new jobs, and the two storey restaurant in Great Homer Street will create 75 new vacancies. The Great Homer Street project is part of a new development which will house a number of national brands. The positions available will be a mix of full-time and part-time. It is expected that the new restaurants will open in Spring 2017.
