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.
Indian-owned tyre manufacturer Apollo Tyres is to create 975 new jobs at a new plant in Gyöngyöshalász (Hungary). About 240 jobs will be created in 2015. The recruitment for the new factory has started at the beginning of this year and the company has signed scholarship programmes with some 90 technicians to be employed as of 1 July 2015. Another 150 technicians will be employed in the second half of the year.
