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.
The US automotive supplier of sealing systems, GDX Automotive, decided to move its series production from two plants located in Odry and Příbor (Nový Jičín region) to Ostrava-Hrabová industrial zone. The company also proceeded to the closure of the plant in Odry due to inconvenient conditions. This measure has resulted in 120 job cuts out of total 600 employees. The rest of employees will have to commute to Ostrava.
