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.
Pabia, one of the leading Polish textile manufacturer, announced bankruptcy. One third of almost 300 workers will lose their jobs. Last year Pabia’s management decided on increasing prices and quality of products. The company overinvested, it produced eight expensive lines and bought German brand - Hensel & Mortensen. In order to save the trade-mark, the whole company will be offered for sale next year.
