Right there in your quote it says the AI would only interact with nonemergency calls. You said the system would reroute nonemergency calls.
So when a call comes in to 911, who picks up? A person or an AI?
You said my comment conflicts with the article. In what way? What does the article say happens?

I would say there's a failure in the body responsible for hiring and paying people to answer emergency calls. The only reason there is a shortage is because they are under paying employees. So yes, but AI, like everywhere else it's been implemented, will fall short of what's needed and will ultimately cost more financially, with the exception that in this case, lives could also be lost.
There's without a doubt a problem, but AI isn't the solution.

Unless it literally is. Do you know that it won't be? What other example do you have to base your assertion on?

People will inevitably die as a result of this change. Call your representatives
People with protection detail and staff don't need 911.

I'm not going to argue with you. AI blows. There are article out there about companies hiring people back after going to AI. It really is a snake oil product that corporations have gobbled up. It's got it's use cases as a tool, but not as a human replacement, especially in matters of live and death.
You can look up and research some articles of you want, or don't. Clearly your opinion on the matter is not popular, and that could be some hive mind, or it could be because everyone else sees the problems that you don't.
Putting a system in place that can't actually think at all and have it try and comprehend what is or is not an emergency, to me, is a terrible idea, and doomed to fail. Take that as you will, I won't be following up with anything else. You can have the final word if you want, because I just can't be bothered to care.

A young person died in my youth crisis shelter because instead of getting 911, I was first redirected to a semi-literate moron working in a VOIP "call center". Her Southern Alabama drawl was so severe I could not even recognize she was speaking English at first. This "call center" was also "experiencing higher than normal call volumes".
Last week I was driving by a wooden apartment complex and I noticed that somebody's unattended barbecue had gone poof and the balcony was burning. I called 911 and it took 4 minutes to get directed to the fire department.
I'm dumbfounded. I'd be furious if it took more than 20 seconds

The one thing you forgot is that you are on Lemme. So of course everybody wants to be upset about AI. That's like par for the course.

I think the non-emergency number should be heavily advertised. I have no idea what the local one for me is (if it even exists)
Maybe they need to send something out to residents every six months or something, letting them know about the non-emergency number because I have this exact same issue. I've lived here for three years and have no idea if a non-emergency number even exists. It probably does. I just haven't looked it up because I haven't even thought about it.

I wonder how many hundreds of millions of dollars they've set aside for settlements.

How many more people could they hire to take these for the same price they are paying open ai?

Customer support is annoying or whatever but this is horrifying. Several people will die because of this.

It says for non-emergency calls.
It might actually help with real emergency calls getting through faster.

We have the best 911 dispatchers in the world, because of jail

"To preform chest compression place both hand in the center of the subjects chest. Apply a rthymic steady pumping action until the subject wakes up. If the subject does not wake continue chest compressions until the subject wakes up. If the subject does not wake continue chest compressions until the subject wakes up. If the subject does not wake up seek medical advice, or call 911."

It is exactly that. One may have a backtest. You'll see that real calls will be falsely detected.
What "modern AI" even means, you are arguing about taste of oysters with the people who have eaten them, unlike you.
Oh, of course you can't have a backtest with a proprietary centrally hosted model until it's deployed. Shit-shit-shit.
They have job openings that people simply aren’t applying for, it’s not a question of funding.
It is. Double the pay, see how many people there are. If still too few, double it again.
I'm certain it'll be less money wasted that on this bot done the lawful way, with proper compensations to victims and their families. We are not considering the situation where it's not.
They’re getting too many phone calls to handle and many of those phone calls should not be going to them in the first place. What should they do?
Hire more operators.
Contact centers have not been invented yesterday, it's just plain bullshit this simple task is somehow hard today, when it has already been simplified far beyond what people in year 1977 dreamed about.
It's the actual job of the government, BTW, and not playing Caesar with real armies or playing Master of Orion with real systems.
