Motorola Solutions significantly expanded its risk disclosures around artificial intelligence, adding two new risks focused on AI legislation/regulation and the social and ethical implications of AI deployment in its products and services. The company simultaneously removed seven risks related to macroeconomic headwinds (COVID-19, supply chain disruptions, inflation) and geopolitical events (Russia-Ukraine), reflecting improved operational conditions since 2023. Of the 27 modified risks, telecommunications regulatory compliance and LMR Communications exposures underwent the most substantive changes, indicating heightened attention to evolving regulatory and competitive pressures in these core business areas.
