"Yes please, I would love to have my call about a a broken leg be prioritised over an active shooting situation because the AI video detection thought that there was more blood visable on my leg vs. several people slumped over severly injured."
AI in Triple Zero WILL kill people.
Could artificial intelligence speed up emergency responses by receiving a caller's video or smartwatch data and capturing words like "knife" and "collision"? Most people think so and welcome the technology's potential, a survey finds.
The 2G/3G shutdowns in the USA, Australia and Sweden haven't been a smashing success. There was (the threat of) regulatory interventions in all 3 countries, roaming and wholesale partners caught unaware, death in Australia, handset blocks in Sweden and Australia and the dismissal of telco executives in Australia. Emergency calls in Sweden requiring a paper clip after shutdown was "unexpected". I'm thinking of doing a write-up of the experience so far, also with information I heard from other countries (but can't attribute), eg that inbound roamers are a particular issue, because turning off mobile data to prevent bill shock may impair emergency calls, their calls lack AML data after shutdown or that the operators don't see the correct number for inbound roamers. Do you have any experiences you can share of what went right or wrong elsewhere in the world? If you want to communicate off the record, ask for my Signal. #2gshutdown #3gshutdown #VoLTE #mobile #emergencycalls

"#Chalmers added Australians shouldn’t lose faith in the #triplezero system, saying the government will sort out what went wrong."
Hold onto your hat Jim: What went wrong is: dumbfucks privatised everything.
It's dead Jim. Neolibralism, Privatisation. It's dead. Stop pretending. Start using your massive majority.
Rebuild the PMG, the CBA, GIO, the ABC, TAFE, Medicare, Universities. The local council swimming pools. All that shit. Start building it all back.
