The county's Department of Public Safety Communications will use artificial intelligence to answer calls that do not require immediate attention from a human dispatcher. The department has answered over 500-thousand non-emergency calls so far this year, and officials say they have to find a way to deal with the rising call volume while making emergency calls a priority.
