TiPS Episode 25 1010 - The Legal Risks of Auto Dispatch and AI

Listen Later

In this episode of TiPS: Today in Public Safety, Fletch examines the increasing legal and ethical concerns surrounding AI-powered automatic dispatch. What happens when your smart system acts before a human does — and gets it wrong? From false alarms and over-dispatches to data privacy, bias, and liability, this episode examines the real-world consequences of entrusting machines solely with life-and-death decisions in public safety.

AI can accelerate response times and streamline operations, but it can also create new legal traps for agencies, vendors, and policymakers. Fletch breaks it all down with humor, and logical insight.

👉 Key Topics:

  • False positives and false negatives in AI-triggered dispatch
  • Chain of custody and explainability of AI decisions
  • Policy, indemnity, and insurance considerations
  • Balancing automation with human judgment
  • The ethical dimension of AI in 9-1-1
