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.
Nestlé Purina PetCare, the Swiss pet food producer and the subsidiary of Nestlé, has announced its plan to create 150 new jobs in Poland. By the end of 2015 the company will try to double the production capacity of the pet food factory in Nowa Wieś Wrocławska by investing additional PLN 153 million (EUR 37.5 mln USD 40.26 mln). This factory is the first one of Nestle Purina’s plants in Poland and the third one in the Central Europe. The investment has received a public support from PAIiIZ (Polish Information and Foreign Investment Agency). Presently, 250 people are employed at this factory.
