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.
Panevėio aurida is one of the biggest manufacturers of compressors for motor vehicles in Lithuania. The company produces one- and two-cylinder mobile air-compressors. At the moment 230 people are employed in the company. The compressors are made for trucks, buses, tractors and other motor vehicles. The company exports its products to Russia, Ukraine and other countries. Presently Panevėio aurida is planning to start the production of new quality compressors, which will be used for Western European motor vehicles and intends to employ 170 new workers. According to the administration of the company, it will be very problematic to find new workers for the company because there is a shortage of such specialists in this region.
