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.
It has emerged that about 143 workers at the Musgrave supermarket group's Galway depot are to be made redundant in June 2010. It is understood that the Galway outlet will close in June as part of an internal restructuring of the company's distribution network. However, 55 workers in Galway will be offered the chance to relocate to a Musgrave depot in Kildare in the Irish Midlands.
