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.
Restuarant chain TGI Fridays has announced plans that it is to create 400 new jobs and open six new restuarants throughout 2018. There had been some speculation that the chain, originally founded in the USA in the 1960s, was struggling and that it was about to be put up for sale, though this latest announcement appears to contradict those rumours. There are currently 80 restuarants in the business operating across the UK; the locations for the six new sites have yet to be announced.
