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

    Hear me now, quote me later — this is going to get people killed. The only question is how many before this is rolled back.

      yes, but i bet the voicebot will be trained mainly on white accents, so it’ll mostly kill immigrants and black people, so it may never be rolled back.

    Alright. This is it. The single worst idea. We’ve done it. Congratulations, everybody.

    My friend can’t even get their Amazon devices to reliably hear the word ‘alexa’ because her voice is slightly higher pitched than it expects. Forget the AI responding for a sec, in what world is even voice recognition reliable enough for emergencies?
