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.
A new rehabilitation centre is due to open in Sheffield with the creation of 100 jobs. The STEPS facility will open in February 2017 and is recruiting medical staff at various levels and also catering staff. The centre will specialise in treatment for adults who have experienced trauma such as stroke or injury. The company is a private enterprise though it has been supported by some public money through the Regional Growth Fund. The centre will treat both private and public patients with their care being funded through the National Health Service, private insurance payments or individual compensation payouts.
