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 Vagonka, a Czech rail vehicle producer, is to create 150 new jobs by the end of 2015. Recruitment of new employees is attributed to the acquisition of new customer orders. The company, which currently employs about 500 people, faces difficulties in staffing the factory with technically skilled employees as there is a huge shortage of them in the labour market.
