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.
The veterinary services provider CVS Group has announced that it will create a new referral facility in Livingston. The new site will add to the group's 17 surgeries across Scotland and will come at a cost of over GBP 450,000. The site will house a hospital, small animal practice and a pathology lab creating 110 new jobs. It is expected that the new site will be operational from October 2019, though there is no information on when all the new jobs will be filled.
