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.
Mothercare, the baby products retailer, has announced it plans to open 33 new stores creating 400 new jobs. The stores will be parenting centres, the company's largest store format. Eight of the stores will be open in time for Christmas, and the remainder will be open before the end of 2011. Mothercare has already opened 85 new stores this year.
