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 Guardian has announced that 100 editorial and commercial jobs are to be cut. Management hope that the cuts can all be made by voluntary redundancy. Staff will be told what impact the restructure will have on their jobs by 9th December. Within the last year 68 jobs have been cut by voluntary redundancy from a staff of 850 within the editorial department, and 82 jobs have been lost from commercial operations.
