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.
Siemens, a Germany-based engineering company, plans to expand its manufacturing capacity and create 200 new jobs at its facility in Mohelnice. The plant, focusing on electric motor production, currently employs 2,200 people. The volume of outputs and the number of staff have now reached pre-crisis level. Employment of new recruits will start in March 2012.
