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 Bumar Group, a leading Polish supplier and exporter of armament and military equipment, plans to dismiss more than 1000 employees (out of the total of 8000) by the end of 2009. The cuts will affect all manufacturing and trading units located across Poland.
The Bumar Group consists of 20 manufacturing and trading companies specialized in the production of munitions, radars, rockets and armour as well as construction, agricultural plant, and construction service companies.
