Interesting example of an unintented consequence, wondering if anyone thought about this prior?
Startups are scrambling to figure out how best to respond and when to call the police — questions that even experts don’t have good answers to.
Interesting - thanks Eileen - on the same topic but a different angle: https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/suicide-prediction-technology-is-revolutionary-it-badly-needs-oversight/2018/12/20/214d2532-fd6b-11e8-ad40-cdfd0e0dd65a_story.html?utm_term=.6d6b2f1a74ea
