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.
It has been reported that as many as 500 redundancies are planned as a result of a re-organization of the Irish Defence Forces envisaged by the Defence Minister.
The minister said the re-organization is required because of the financial crisis besetting Ireland. Therefore, Ireland's army will see its three brigades merged into two units over the coming months. The south, east, and west brigades are to be be re-structured into southern and northern units to leave a 9,500 staff ceiling.
