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.
Czech coal mining company Przedsiębiorstwo Górnicze Silesia (PG Silesia) announced that it will create about 100 new jobs at its coal mine in Czechowice-Dziedzice. The restructuring programme is associated with the company’s plan to invest about PLN 200 million (EUR 47.37 million) in the modernisation of the mine and increase excavation of hard coal by 10-15% within the next 2-3 years.
Apart from coal mining the company mines stones for construction works, drills gas and provides solutions for ecological preservation of energy minerals such as ash. Przedsiębiorstwo Górnicze Silesia employs around 1,650 people in Poland.
