When the Caller Isn’t Human: AI and the Future of 911
Artificial intelligence is reshaping entire industries, from medicine to filmmaking, but one question looms larger than most: will the public accept AI as the voice that answers their emergency call? As automation moves closer to the dispatch console, the debate mirrors the legend of John Henry racing the steam engine—a contest between human judgment and machine efficiency. In this episode of LifeLine, we examine whether AI can be trusted with life-and-death decisions, how much responsibility the public is willing to hand over, and what may be gained—or lost—if the next voice on the line isn’t human at all.
