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.
London-based building company HSE Group has fallen into administration with the loss of 100 jobs. Six of the group's seven subsidiaries have ceased trading, but its building services business claims it is close to completing a management buy-out that could save the business and around 120 jobs. As of October 2011 there is no further information on the case.
