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.
The Danish brewer Carlsberg has announced that will cut around 150 positions in Poland by the end of 2015. The restructuring programme will affect all of the company’s departments. Currently, the company is negotiating with local trade unions about the terms and conditions of the restructuring programme though it is understood that redundant workers will receive severance pay. Carlsberg Polska employs 1,400 people.
