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 27 May 2013, Polish juice and condiment manufacturer Agros-Nova announced it plans to close its plant in Wloclawek and cut all 121 jobs. The collective dismissal programme will be accomplished by the end of August 2013. The company plans to consolidate its production capacity in its other plants and close that unit as it is no longer profitable. Agros-Nova has three fruit and vegetable processing plants in Poland (Wloclawek, Lowicz and Tymienice).
