"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.

Australians open to dealing with AI on a Triple Zero emergency call, study finds

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.

Emergency calls to 112, 911 or #triplezero are facing issues in countries that have done a #2Gshutdown or #3Gshutdown. The USA, Australia and Sweden all have experienced issues, regulatory intervention handset bans and other problems. I'm intending to do a write-up www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

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

All the recent news on Triple Zero issues with various mobile networks and phones and yet the offical Triple Zero website run by the Dept of Home Affairs includes a link to a page that's supposed to show smartphone apps but that just returns a 404 error 🤦🏻‍♂️

Apparently #Optus outsources some or all of its digital telephony to #Infosys, and from Infosys we have this:
"Infosys leverages AI to create an "AI-powered core" that helps prioritize and execute digital transformation initiatives, which can include the modernization of a company's telephony systems. "
And we have this:
15 Aug 2025
"Indian company Infosys has entered into a joint venture with Australian telco Telstra through the acquisition of a 75% stake in Versent Group"
Coincidence? Does anyone know more on this?

"#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.
