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.
Paged Meble – the producer of furniture, bitboard, veneer materials, and plywood – plans to shed 700 jobs out of an aggregate workforce of 1,800 at its factory in Jasienica by Bielsko-Biała by the end of March 2009. The reason of sheding of 700 jobs is falling in orders for the company's products. It happenes in most of the companies which are planning the reduction in employment level.
