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.
Carmarthenshire Council has announced plans to cut up to 500 jobs over the next three years. Councilors stated that at most 160 jobs would be lost every year over three years with the first cuts taking effect by March 2011. The job losses are part of wider measures to cut costs and it is hoped that most of the redundancies will be implemented through natural wastage and voluntary means.
