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.
German producer of components for the construction industry Reuss-Seifert, a subsidiary of Aurelius, has announced that it will create 280 jobs at its new production facility in Nowa Sól. The factory is expected to be operational in late 2017.
In March 2017, the company announced a restructuring programme affecting 194 jobs in Germany by the end of 2018. The programme is associated with the plans to relocate the production from Germany to Poland.
