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.
Following the Granada-Carlton merger to form a unique ITV company, Granada decided to relocate the activities of its Southampton subsidiary Meridian. Meridian's regional programming operation is to become part of the ITV News division, headed by Carlton, that will be situated in a new high-tech centre in Fareham. Unions fear other job losses in other regional production centres. On 19 January 2004, unions threatened to go on strike to protest against some compulsory redundancies.
