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.
Telecommunications Company BT Openreach has announced plans to create 3,500 new roles. The jobs, which are initially at trainee engineer level, will be in roles to support the expansion of the superfast broadband network and constitute the largest recruitment in the company's history. The jobs will be spread across the company's ten service delivery areas, with the London region being home to the largest number of new jobs at around 500. The new vacancies will be filled over the coming year.
