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.
Škoda Auto (Volkswagen Group), the largest Czech car manufacturer, intends to hire at least 200 new workers at its Kvasiny plant with the launch of 6 day work week starting from September 2011. The firm is going to enlarge its Kvasiny plant with a view to doubling the production capacity by 2018. Currently, about 3,500 people are employed at the site.
