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.
The state organisation responsible for social insurance matters Zakład Ubezpieczeń Społecznych (ZUS; Social Insurance Institution) has announced that it will create at least 200 new jobs at its units across Poland. ZUS is looking for medical examiners, and the recruitment process is associated with a new state benefit programme dedicated to adult people with disabilities unable to live independently. The programme will start in October 2019. The source reports that ZUS is struggling in finding employees although they propose attractive salaries. ZUS has been operating since 1934, the institution is supervised by the Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Policy.
