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.
Lloyds Banking Group has announced that it will create 500 new jobs at its new digital tech hub in Edinburgh. The roles are high skilled, and the company has already begun the recruitment process for software engineers and data scientists, though it is being reported that the jobs will be filled over an eighteen month period. The move comes as more banking continues to be done online, and high street banks continue to close. The centre will service the groups' Halifax, Lloyds, Bank of Scotland and Scottish Widows customers.
