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.
German mechanical and engineering company Dürr Poland, a subsidiary of Dürr AG, has announced that it will create 100 new jobs at its production facility in Radom by the end of 2019. The company is looking for engineers, automatics specialists, programmers and mechanics. The investment worth some PLN 22 million (€5.1 million) will envisage the construction of an office building with 2,500 square metres of space and a production and warehouse facility with 5,200 square metres of space.
Dürr was founded in 1895 in Germany; it is specialised in the production of process engineering transport systems largely for the automotive industry. In Poland, the company has been operating since 1990 and as of December 2018, it employs 390 people in Radom.
