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.
Swiss bank Credit Suisse decided to close the department in charge of analytical activities located in Moscow (Russia) and to relocate services offered to Russian customers in the London hub. The British hub also offers its services to customers in Europe, Middle East and Africa. The company maintained the decision is part of the company project to focus on the management of wealthy clients' assets, and will not effect the range of services offered to the Russian customers. As a consequence of the relocation, only one employee will be transferred from Moscow to London.
