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.
On 17 July 2013, Kopalnia Węgla Brunatnego Konin (the Konin Brown Coal Mine) announced its plans to implement a collective dismissal program, which will result in the loss of 300 jobs. The programme will be carried out between 30 August 2013 and 30 April 2014.
As it was reported, the dismissals are related to a worsening financial condition of the company.
