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.
British Telecom is to create 600 engineering jobs. The company plans to expand its operations installing household broadband connections. 200 of these jobs are reserved for former military personnel. The company has also announced the establishment of an apprenticeship scheme which lasts 2.5 years for 400 new recruits. This expansion follows previously reported expansions in the number of people working for BT reported in factsheet 20871.
The timeline for the expansion plans is not yet available.
