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.
It has been announced that 86 jobs are to be created at Cucina Sano's Boston factory. The Cucina Sano name is part of the Bakkavor group which manufactures a wide range of food products for retailers. The site in Boston, which manufactures exclusively for Marks & Spencer, currently employs 690 staff and is looking to add new skilled roles including team leaders and production operatives. The new jobs are being created due to a rise in demand for the factory's products. It is not known when the new jobs will be filled, though it is understood that recruitment for the positions has already begun.
