A communications technology company whose filing states one total by region and two segments known by revenue, so equipment leads with software and services by description.
The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.
What follows from the reading
Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 23% now, 47% at the end of 2027, 58% at the end of 2028, 64% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 64% desk work, 20% people work and 16% body work. These are the site's industry estimates weighted by the shares below: estimates with a stated method and range, not a forecast of what the company will do. By the same patterns, at the end of 2028 about 36% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 50% becomes checking a model's work and 8% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.

Questions about this company
- How much of Motorola Solutions, Inc.'s working time is within reach of AI?
- An estimated 23% now and 58% by the end of 2028, on METR's long-run pace at four in five, from the workforce Motorola Solutions, Inc.'s own annual report describes and BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster.

- 23,000 as of December 31, 2025, as its annual report for the period ending December 31, 2025 states.

- Read from its annual report as a blend of 3 industry staffing patterns, the largest Communications Equipment Manufacturing; by those patterns the work is about 64% desk work, 20% people work and 16% body work.

- How is this estimated?
- Claude Fable 5.1 read the annual report under the Index's written rubric (version 1) on October 19, 2026: the stated headcount, the share in the U.S. when stated, and the workforce as a blend of industry staffing patterns. The estimates are the site's industry estimates weighted by those shares, from O*NET tasks with estimated lengths and METR's measurements of how long a task AI models can finish.
