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.
Sandoz, the generic pharmaceutical division of Novartis, has announced its plan to create 130 new jobs in Stryków. The company uses automated production lines and hence is looking for workers with computer skills. The company has invested PLN 125 million (EUR 30.12 million) since 2013 in Poland and the new production lines will be operational at the beginning of March 2015.
Sandoz has been operating in Poland since 2010 and at its two locations (Warszawa and Stryków) employs currently 1,200 people.
