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.
Polish construction company Alstal has announced that it will create 100 new jobs by the end of 2016. The company has also revealed that it has signed contracts worth PLN 120 millions (EUR 27.90 millions USD 31.57 millions) in July 2016 alone, including a deal for building a hospital in Sosnowiec, courthouse in PoznaĆ, ice rink in Bydgoszcz and training unit for the army.
Over the past year, the workforce in Alstal increased by 20%. The company has decided to hire more and more workers from Ukraine as it is increasingly difficult to find Polish professionals.
Alstal has provided comprehensive construction services since 1976.
