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.
PKP Cargo, Poland’s largest railway freight carrier, has announced its plan to employ 500 workers by the end of 2015. New employees will receive special training before starting to work as train drivers. According to the source in 2014 the company has already employed 500 people who are undergoing two-year training to become qualified train drivers.
PKP Cargo Group is the second largest railway freight carrier in Europe. After completion of the large restructuring programme in 2014, the company employs at the moment 22,000 people across the country.
