📰 News we're reading

• New AI system takes Akron's non-emergency calls (spectrumnews1.com) — If you live in Northfield or Northfield Center Township, your 911 and non-emergency calls are handled through regional dispatch centers that now include an AI assistant named Ava for non-emergencies. Akron’s busy 911 hub and several Summit County agencies use Ava to route routine calls faster, freeing human dispatchers to focus on true emergencies while still reviewing AI-transcribed information for accuracy and safety.
