Gourlay Business in Ethics Lecture
As artificial intelligence (AI) diffuses deeply in organisations, work is evolving at a fast pace and raising many questions. In the 'future of work' that has already become our present, should we expect to work less? Will employment fall? How should we prepare the next generations?
Join us for the next Gourlay Ethics in Business Lecture as Professor Thomas Roulet explores the recent research on AI through the lens of business ethics, examining how AI is transforming organisations and the workforce and considering the ethical choices facing both institutions and individuals as they navigate this new and uncertain terrain.
RSVP: By 5pm, Thursday 27 August 2026
Cost: Free, but bookings essential
