IEEE MOVE Comes To India To Help Disaster Workers
Left to right: Kathleen Kramer, Mary Ellen Randell and me In June I wrote an article about visiting the IEEE MOVE volunteers in Puerto Rico. I was able join IEEE President Kathleen Kramer and IEEE President Elect Mary Ellen Randell in Bangalore, India for the launch of the first Indian MOVE truck. IEEE with the IEEE MOVE Outreach India program, launched its first Mobile Outreach Vehicle (MOVE) to be deployed outside the United States. The MOVE India Vehicle was unveiled on July 21 at the IEEE India Office, World Trade Center, Bengaluru. The vehicle is designed to bring educational resources to communities in India and, in the future, provide communication and technology support to relief workers during emergencies in Karnataka. The Indian web site says that, when not deployed for disaster relief efforts, the IEEE MOVE vehicle will be taken to schools, events, and other venues to educate the public—showcasing leading technologies and raising awareness about the positive impact these technologies have on society. Even before the India MOVE truck was commissioned this week the Indian volunteers had done MOVE themed STEM outreach with the local community. The MOVE truck is shown below. IEEE Indian MOVE Truck Built on a rugged Force Traveller chassis and engineered to navigate India's diverse terrains, the IEEE MOVE India Vehicle's modular design, power system, and advanced emergency communication suite provide the technology and communication tools relief workers need in the event of a disaster. The vehicle also provides a catalyst for STEM education and sustainability awareness. The MOVE India Vehicle has a grid and solar-powered energy setup with a hybrid inverter and lithium-ion battery bank, delivering up to 30 hours of energy. The onboard communications include a Wi-Fi 6e antenna suite, 4G connectivity, and HAM radio systems to provide seamless, high-bandwidth communication during emergencies. Inside, the vehicle carries interactive STEM kits aimed at educating students and communities on climate change, disaster preparedness, and sustainable technologies. The STEM program is expected to reach over 100 schools annually, beginning with operations in Karnataka, and will expand further to other states across India. IEEE MOVE stands for Mobile Outreach VEhicle, is a program focused on providing disaster relief and STEM education. It utilizes a specially designed vehicle to deliver emergency communication, power, and computing services to areas affected by natural disasters. Additionally, the vehicle and its resources are used for educational outreach, showcasing technology and its positive impact on society. There are three MOVE trucks in the USA with the first one commissioned in 2016. In the US the MOVE trucks have been deployed to assist the Red Cross 40 times for various types of natural disasters. It has participated in STEM outreach events many more times. The trucks have been based in the Southeastern US as well as in California. In addition to the three US MOVE trucks and the new one in India, Puerto Rico has a group of IEEE volunteers who have modular boxes of gear to help with communications and power needs for disaster workers that they can put into a vehicle and deploy on the island when needed. The IEEE MOVE disaster relief and STEM program expanded into INDIA with the launch of the first MOVE India truck.

IEEE Standards Commitment to Advancing AI Governance Includes Impactful Contributions to New International AI Standards Exchange
PISCATAWAY, N.J., July 11, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IEEE, the world's largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for humanity, and its IEEE Standards Association (IEEE SA) announced today that its portfolio of over 100 global AI-related standards is included in the new International AI Standards Exchange. This Exchange is a centralized repository of international AI standards with the aim to foster collaboration and responsible AI development worldwide. IEEE and its AI global standards were recognized in the 2024 United Nations AI Advisory Body's Report, Governing AI for Humanity, which created the impetus for the AI Standards Exchange. Due to its impactful AI standards and related work, IEEE, a major standards body, was included as a partner in the establishment of the Exchange. IEEE President and CEO Kathleen Kramer, who is speaking at the AI for Good Summit this year at the High-Level AI Standards Panel, shares, "IEEE's mission of advancing technology for the benefit of humanity is foundational to our institution and our communities. The work of IEEE SA illustrates how direct, inclusive collaboration throughout the global community can make a substantial impact. By having our standards included in the International AI Standards Exchange, we are reinforcing efforts to make IEEE AI standards and guidance easily discoverable and accessible to policymakers, developers, regulators, and other stakeholders seeking trusted, open, and collaborative processes and high-integrity resources to help advance globally interoperable and trusted AI systems." IEEE SA is a leader in addressing the challenges of AI and autonomous systems. IEEE SA's AI ecosystem includes ongoing groundbreaking work and programs such as: The IEEE 7000™ standards series addresses ethical and societal considerations in AI and autonomous systems, including transparency, privacy, algorithmic bias, and accountability. The Ethically Aligned Design (EAD) Framework, which has inspired global discussions on human rights and ethics in AI, informed various AI principles, including those of the OECD, as well as aspects of the UN Global Digital Compact, and continues to serve as a strong and relevant foundation as AI technologies and use evolve. IEEE CertifAIEd™, a personnel credentialing and product certification program that evaluates AI systems for transparency, accountability, and the reduction of bias, provides organizations with credible evidence of responsible AI practices. It addresses criteria including algorithmic bias, ethical transparency, privacy, and accountability, and is compatible with upcoming regulations such as the EU AI Act. This program was developed to align with global regulations being considered or implemented in the United States, China, the European Union, Canada, the United Kingdom, and other jurisdictions. The Technology Policy Collaborative (TPC), a program that provides collaborative spaces where government bodies and policy makers can address technology innovation and its impact and develop practically-oriented and adaptive frameworks, solutions and fresh governance approaches that can facilitate benefits of technology. "IEEE SA is a globally recognized and respected standardization body, offering multiple pathways to achieve consensus while adhering to the WTO principles," says Alpesh Shah, IEEE SA Managing Director. "A unique aspect of IEEE SA is that its collective global intelligence can be applied contextually in a national, regional, or international context. We delivered on the requested contribution to the Exchange due to the global nature of the work and its meaningful and ongoing impact, in this case, in the field of AI systems." The work of IEEE communities continues to receive recognition in the AI field. Examples include the JRC Report on AI Standardization, enablement of CertifAIEd(™) assessors to support assessment of client's AI systems, manufacturer certifications, and government and NGO training. These have coalesced to help enable the realization of the request outlined in the UN AI Governance report and offer standardization and implementation options where gaps exist. About the IEEE Standards Association IEEE Standards Association (IEEE SA) is a collaborative organization where innovators raise the world's standards for technology. IEEE SA provides a globally open, consensus-building environment and platform that empowers people to work together in the development of leading-edge, market-relevant technology standards, and industry solutions shaping a better, safer and sustainable world.
