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.
Boots, the high street chemist and general retailer, announced today it will axe 700 jobs after pulling the plug on its health and beauty services business. The Boots brand Wellbeing Services will no longer exist and the retail stores selling it will close. Such outlets were to be found all over the UK.
