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.
Irish bank AIB has announced that it will cease operations in Jersey and the Isle of Man resulting in the loss of 170 jobs. The move is part of a wider restructuring plan aimed at making the company more 'domestically-focused'. The company announced it would enter a 30-day consultation period in order to agree on a package for the affected staff.
The bank has been operating in Jersey and the Isle of Man for over 30 years.
