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.
Strathclyde Fire and Rescue have announced that it is to cut 104 staff. The organisation has asked support staff to consider voluntary redundancy and early retirement as part of its strategy to ease financial pressure. The number of fire fighters and fire appliances will remain unchanged.
No details have been given on when the cuts will be implemented.
