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 Kutno Local Goverment Hospital announced its plan to dismiss 119 workers. The redundancies will involve 79 jobs which will be lost by the end of 2010 and additional 40 people will be left to go in early 2011. On 1 December 2010 the Hospital underwent the process of ownership conversion - the Hospital became a non-public institution managed by the Kutno County. The core reason behind the change of ownership was initiated by the critical financial situation of the hospital in 2010 as the institution had over 77 million PLN debts (over 19 million Euros).
