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.
The Wolseley plumbing and building supplies group has announced 180 redundancies in various locations across Ireland. The redundancies will entail the closure of four Wolseley stores around Ireland. Wolseley has attributed the job losses to the serious downturn that has hit Ireland's construction industry and a big reduction in new house builds.
