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.
Printing company St Ives has announced plans to close its Leeds plant resulting in the loss of up to 177 jobs. The company will transfer operations to Bradford and has started a 30-day consultation with the affected staff. The announcement follows the company's decision to have a single operation for its direct mail division. It is still unknown how many staff will move to Bradford and when the restructuring will take place.
