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.
On November 2005 EU ministers of agriculture reached an agreement on the reform of the European Union sugar regime. Following the agreement, Pfeifer und Langen decided to close up its sugar plant in Góra Śląska and transfer production to the remaining four plants. Some 200 employees will lose their job within the five plants. The German Pfeifer und Langen group has bought a controlling stake in five sugar mills, in 2001, from The Polish State Treasury.
