The city of Las Vegas is using the RapidSOS platform to help dispatchers trace emergency callers faster, while Reno dispatchers share how it saves lives.

    Does this mean they will stop swatting since they can detect if the call is legit?

    That seems actually like a rather intelligent use of AI. Translation, location identification.

    We get promised AI will cure cancer and safe the climate. While not that big of a thing, at least this one saves lifes

      A good use except for the unavoidable hallucinations and errors in a piece of critical infrastructure.

        Did you had a look how this works. Spoiler. Only a small part isn an LLM. Most of it is not.

        Not everything is an LLM. If your car has a line hold assist, most likely, to that is AI. Yes, even the 15 year olds.

        AI != AI

      Gemini can’t tell on from off and you expect it to properly translate drunk tourists, high from random scores thanks to catering to billionaires has killed the economy leading to a severe lack of balance in the city…

      las Vegas is far from ideal for this… Alabama would be.

        I use AI based translation apps since the Ukraine war started and I needed something to communicate with refugees. And no,that is not Gemini, copilot or any other LLM.

        Did I miss something or where does it say Gemini? The there are more kinds of AI then fucking LLMs

        EDIT: and an incomplete or slightly incorrect translation is how worse then no translation at all?

        EDIT2: I currently use this app: https://github.com/niedev/RTranslator

        This app runs models on your phone. And it works like a charm. So, with more power then my phone, bigger models can be used and those get more robust.
