Such important and thoughtful messaging ty. As #988Lifeline allows #AI into #CrisisLines space, & #Vibrant Emotional Health becomes a tech company, they run risk of destroying trust in the service. I wrote about this - paper title The "AI" Infestation of 988 Lifeline. Blogs, reformcrisistextline.com

Important reminder on World Mental Health Day that allowing #AI into #CrisisLines space is a very very very...VERY bad idea.

Lack of consent, vulnerability of persons, tracking/surveillance, lack of transparency abt data storage & use breaks trust

Do we really want #988Lifeline #Vibrant & its 100s of contractors & subcontractors to be storing crisis conversations & making them available for #AI model calibration?

Thats a sickening abuse & exploit of vulnerable persons, including those who answer

Needs to stop. Organize #CrisisLines workers

It's reckless & disrespectful for #988Lifeline & #SAMHSA to allow #AI into crisis line space. #CrisisLines workers will need to organize - contact me.

If we wait until more & more contracts are held by tech companies w their own "AI" products, organizing won't be possible.

I also worry about #ICE
