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.
Bühler CZ, an engineering company, is to enlarge its production at its Žamberk plant and to increase its staff from current 250 to 400 people.
The company is part of Bühler Group (headquarters in Switzerland), a global technology partner for the food processing industry, chemical process engineering and die casting. The new technology at the Czech plant will focus on the food processing industry.
As of October 2012, there is no exact information on when the new jobs will be created, but the new plant is already built.
Bühler Group operates in over 140 countries, has a global payroll of 8,800, and generated sales revenues of CHF 2,131 million in the fiscal year 2011.
