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.
Motor parts firm Brose UK plans to create 300 jobs at its two factories in Bedworth and Coventry. The job expansion is linked with a new contract to make window motors for Nissan. As reported, 150 jobs will be created over the next twelve months and a further 150 by 2016. These new jobs are in addition to previous expansion in 2013.
