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.
Kent County Council has announced plans to cut 1500 posts over the next four years. The authority has said that back office roles would be affected, but Unison has said that there will be a knock on effect on front line services. Unison representatives are due to hold talks with Kent County Council on 20 January.
