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.
Michelin, the multi-national producer of tyres, has announced the creation of 1,000 new jobs at its plant in Olsztyn, instead of the 400 previously announced. About half of the new 1,000 jobs will include technicians and forklift drivers in the logistics compound. Three new production lines will also be introduced as part of the investment. The Michelin plant in Olsztyn employs about 3,500 workers producing tires for cars, vans, trucks and tractors.
