I was a 911 dispatcher for 11 years and this is the worst idea you could possibly think of. You have scenarios where the person can’t speak well either language barriers, injuries or if they’re in a domestic situation and they pretend to call for pizza or something you need a person. You have to be able to determine how someone feels or pick up on what they aren’t saying or how they’re saying things. Same goes for open lines and hang ups. A real person needs to answer the phone not only to ensure the correct response is sent to the right place but to offer piece of mind to the caller and makes them feel safer. Situations where I had to give CPR instructions to a mother and father who’s baby wasn’t breathing was a constant occurrence and you have to be able to calm people down, an AI is not doing that ever. Same goes for dispatching calls, AI cannot do that, in theory it sounds ok for that portion but you have to acknowledge what resources are on hand, where people are, GPS isn’t always accurate so when we started using systems to automatically reroute units who were flagged as “closer” they usually weren’t. But a real person who lives in that county and knows the area, where the stations are, who’s in a move up or coverage or areas that are blocked off due to events that aren’t always in our mapping systems. The list goes on.

Terrible idea

During the action at Filton, Palestine Action activists destroyed several of these quadcopter drones, which otherwise would of been used to commit more death and destruction in Gaza.

For doing so, they've been sentenced as terrorists.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

This is absolutely insane.

The suffragettes used far more extreme tactics than Palestine Action.

They planted bombs, burned down private homes and smashed up art galleries.

They killed five people!

Her outrageous judgement is based on absurd historical ignorance.

This is the first case of its kind in UK criminal justice history.

A Derbyshire officer allegedly used AI to fabricate evidential material across multiple cases not one. The Crown Prosecution Service is now reviewing every conviction those cases touched.

Three days ago, the UK government announced PoliceAI.

£140 million. a national AI centre for policing. 40 new facial recognition vans. AI tools for every force in England and Wales by 2027. the official goal: "get responsible AI into the hands of officers."

Three days later: criminal investigation into an officer for using AI to manufacture evidence.

the interim director of PoliceAI put out a statement today.

"our work is rooted in transparency."

97% of all criminal investigations in the UK now involve digital evidence. that's this year's figure.

AI is already being used to summarise case files, triage evidence, and assist with disclosure.

one officer already used it to manufacture evidence across multiple cases.

nobody noticed until now.

Hi hello, stop using AI

[Richard Sanders @PulaRJS]

This is barbaric. They were not permitted to explain to the jury why they carried out the attack on the Elbit factory - which makes the weapons that kill Palestinian children. And the jury was never told they would be sentenced as terrorists. /1

It’s crazy to see an elected official just deliver on every campaign promise.

A leaked document reveals Palantir staff are being granted “unlimited access” to identifiable patient data.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Palantir has been granted “unlimited access” to NHS patient data.

This is the same company that is involved in mass surveillance and genocide.

We did not consent to this. Get Palantir out of our NHS, now.

For those of us who are Black in the UK, this was absolutely predictable.

This country is a right wing white supremacist nation at heart.

And let me stir the pot, all the three parties with large seat numbers are overtly racist. It is not 1 in 2, it is 75%.

🔥THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS of renters in the streets today, united in our fight against a housing system run for private profit.

We have had enough of the exploitation and we are fighting back! Rent controls now! Council homes, not luxury flats!

[WHEELS & ROSES | Pearl Low | 劉寶珠🧋 (they/them) @Fumi_chun]

Creators like myself are trying so hard to contribute to indie animation. Studios continuously cut our jobs, remove POC & queer folks.. so it's time to do our own thing w/out permission.

BTW if you like magical girls, pls watch my pilot WHEELS & ROSES, it's a whole lotta fun🛼✨

As covid displayed all too clearly, the workers that are paid the least, are the workers we rely on the most. The debt we owed them was of course forgotten very, very quickly.
