Motorola unveils 'AI nutrition labels' for safety technologies
Motorola Solutions has launched 'AI nutrition labels' aimed at providing greater transparency around the use of artificial intelligence in its safety and security products. The new labelling system will outline how artificial intelligence is deployed in each product, detailing the type of AI used, the ownership of the data processed, available human controls, and the intended purpose behind the technology's application. The company stated that this approach marks the first time such labels have been made available for public safety and enterprise security technologies, allowing users to better understand the 'ingredients' of each AI-enabled solution in a manner that draws comparison to food nutrition labelling. Mahesh Saptharishi, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer at Motorola Solutions, emphasised the importance of clarity and transparency in the deployment of AI technologies in the context of safety and security. "It is our unwavering conviction that technology - including AI - is the bedrock for safety and security, and it must be deployed with purpose and transparency to fulfil its promise as a force for good," said Saptharishi. "Nutrition labels help describe AI's use in protecting neighbourhoods and nations, and we are proud to take a lead role in bringing greater transparency to AI innovation." The AI nutrition labels are designed to provide a summary of four core attributes relevant to users of these technologies: the particular type of AI employed, the party responsible for data ownership, the available mechanisms for human oversight, and the specific reason for integrating AI within a given product. AI capabilities have become increasingly integral to Motorola Solutions' safety and security portfolio. The company describes its AI as designed to assist users by providing accurate and timely information, supporting personnel in understanding unfolding events and prioritising their responses when confronted by complex safety threats. Saptharishi elaborated on the challenges faced by individuals charged with public safety, and how AI can augment their efforts, particularly in high-pressure scenarios. "Safety threats often unfold at a scale, speed and sophistication that can outstrip any one person's capacity to make sense of the situation," said Saptharishi. "AI can ingest, learn and cross-reference data to provide contextual understanding. At Motorola Solutions, we design our AI-enabled technologies to augment human focus, effort and performance when seconds matter most. Our AI nutrition labels will bring added clarity to the important role AI is playing in helping to protect people, property and places." Motorola Solutions confirmed the labels have been developed under the guidance of its Technology Advisory Committee, a cross-functional group tasked with providing ethical oversight and guidance regarding the design and implementation of new product technologies. The company positions the initiative as part of its ongoing commitment to support safer communities, educational institutions, and workplaces, by ensuring users and stakeholders can access straightforward information about the underpinning AI technologies and the safeguards in place. The company's announcement comes as the deployment of AI in public safety settings draws increased scrutiny from stakeholders, policy-makers, and the broader public, particularly regarding issues of privacy, human oversight and ethical boundaries. Motorola Solutions said the AI nutrition labels will now feature across its ecosystem of safety and security technologies, reflecting a shift towards increased transparency and engagement with the ethical aspects of AI deployment in critical environments.

Motorola expands Assist Chat AI to boost public safety access
Motorola Solutions has announced the extension of its Assist Chat AI technology to public safety agencies in a move aimed at making agency data more accessible to a broader range of first responders, from dispatchers to investigators. The company will provide all public safety agencies with a complimentary starter edition of Assist Chat, an AI assistant designed to securely connect users to their agency's data, procedures and case history while maintaining compliance with relevant FBI and CJIS security standards. Assist Chat is initially being rolled out to the US market, with plans to expand to Australia and New Zealand (A/NZ) in the future. The A/NZ region shares the P25 digital radio standard with the US, which is expected to support a smooth transition. Mahesh Saptharishi, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer at Motorola Solutions, said: "We're making an agency's data accessible and actionable to its staff to a whole new standard. With Assist Chat, any role within a public safety agency - whether on the front lines or in the back office - can now converse with their data in a secure environment. As agencies advance and adopt more Assist capabilities throughout their software, Assist becomes exponentially more useful in accelerating workflows and confirming data accuracy." Currently, approximately 3,600 of the 6,000 public safety answering points in the United States use Motorola Solutions' emergency command centre software, which integrates Assist for a number of functions such as call transcription, translation, handling non-emergency inquiries and streamlining tasks to support swifter dispatch. Motorola Solutions is now expanding Assist's functionality to include computer-aided dispatch (CAD) and records management software. This move enables features such as the real-time processing of radio transcripts and location metadata, allowing for faster decision-making by dispatchers. The system can identify specific scenarios, such as a car crash, and automatically generate dispatch incidents with recommended responses, such as sending an ambulance to the relevant address. AI-driven features in records management also allow officers to review and refine their written narratives by checking them for accuracy against sources including video evidence, radio audio and CAD logs. Investigators and crime analysts will be able to use Assist for in-depth research tasks in a secure, CJIS-compliant environment, for example generating historical location maps of vehicles involved in crime investigations. JC Meyer, Manager of Technology Services at the Department of Public Safety in Lee County, Florida, said: "Assist streamlines emergency response, taking stress off our team. It automates routine tasks and simplifies the steps that need to happen in quick succession to effectively respond to an emergency, giving our team more time and capacity to be there for the person in need of help." Mahesh Saptharishi added: "AI is not a discrete ingredient but the foundation of our public safety software. Think of Assist as our products' central nervous system. It can proactively support each user with role-specific information contextualised to the time, task, person and place. As agencies consolidate information into a single secure and private repository through Chat, each new data stream and source they add with Assist helps to increase the accuracy and usefulness of AI's suggestions." Assist Chat functions as a conversational interface across Motorola Solutions' public safety workflow applications, combining large language model technology with secure access to agency knowledge bases. It is designed with specific security features and guardrails, and all data remains within each agency's controlled environment. Each agency maintains ownership and control of their own data, with no data sharing between agencies. Through Assist Chat, users can conduct voice or text queries on dispatch, records, evidence, and prior case histories — including video and image content — within a secure platform. In addition to facilitating investigative and emergency response tasks, agencies can use AI to identify potential gaps or improvements in internal policies, such as making recommendations for new policies based on frequently asked questions or new industry guidance. Mahesh Saptharishi remarked: "The critical information first responders need is often buried beneath an avalanche of data. Assist Chat builds bridges from raw information to readily available answers."
