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.
By mid-2014, Fischer Automotive Systems is to increase its staff in Ivanovice na Hane by 250 workers.
This is due to the transfer of the local production to a new, larger factory in the area. The first workers are to be hired in early November.
The firm will receive a monthly state subsidy of CZK 10,000 for each employee.
Fischer Automotive Systems is a subsidiary of German manufacturing group Fischer, headquartered in Waldachtal. The company is operating its plant in Ivanovice na Hane since 2007, employing 200 staff so far.
