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 Gas has announced plans to create 2600 jobs across the UK by 2012. The new posts will be filled by 2100 energy experts, 400 support staff and 130 managerial staff, and come as a result of the company's launch of smart meter technology.
