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.
Under the new joint venture between insurers Allianz and LV it has been announced that up to 400 jobs will be lost. Around 260 jobs will be lost at LVÂ with a further 140 jobs set to go at Allianz. The Allianz jobs will be cut mainly from the offices in Bristol and Guildford.
