New Orleans is using AI to answer 911 calls instead of human dispatchers. What does this mean for crime and emergency response?

    More info for you showing it may not be so simple

    And on and on and on.

    The more I think about this idea of AI use by New Orleans the more sense it makes. As long as it’s a human asking the emergency protocol questions and dispatching first responders, falling back to tech for filtering overwhelming call volume during large incidents is a good idea.
