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.
British financial institution Nationwide Building Society announced plans to create 750 new jobs for a new digital hub in Holborn (London). Roles include developers, engineers, data scientists and agile development experts. The company has also said it will add jobs at its headquarters in Swindon, where 3,500 people are currently employed. The business expansion is part of a long-term strategy and investment plan to develop digital resources of the company. There is no information available as to when the new positions are expected to be filled.
