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 German Schwan-Stabilo Group is planning to create a further 200 jobs at Schwan Cosmetics CR in Český Krumlov, a Czech subsidiary producing cosmetic pencils. The factory was opened in October 2004 and currently employs more than 200 workers. The overall number of 400-450 jobs are to be relocated by 2008 from Germany to the Czech Republic because of lower production costs.
