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.
On 7 September 2012, state-owned company Fabryka Form Metalowych FORMET (metal mould plant) in Bydgoszcz announced plans to dismiss 119 people. The redundancies will be implemented between September 2012 and January 2013.
The local trade unions claimed that the financial situation of the company is very difficult, but the representatives of FORMET have not commented on this.
Fabryka Form Metalowych FORMET produces injection moulds for plastics, rubber injection moulds, pressure casting moulds for metals and punching tools.
