Q&A

Felder questions Motorola AI-enabled capabilities in 911 system

New York City Council · Sep 9, 2026 · starts 2:51:21 · 49 sec

Felder asks if the city has implemented, tested, or contracted for any AI-enabled Motorola functionality. Gelobter says Motorola's AI capabilities are dependent on NextGen 911, which hasn't rolled out yet. AI is not part of phase one, and they will explore what makes sense to add after NextGen is live.

Motorola has announced various AI-enabled public safety capabilities.

Has the city implemented, tested, or contracted for any AI-enabled Motorola functionality within the 911 system?

Thank you for the question, Chair.

Unidentified speaker

The Motorola capability that I believe you're referencing is dependent on next-gen 911.

Unidentified speaker

So until next-gen 911 rolls out, there is not even the possibility for any AI.

Unidentified speaker

And again, it is not part of phase one.

Unidentified speaker

As we look at...

What being on NextGen 911, what features and assets it gives us, then we can explore and examine what it makes sense to add in and to augment the system with.

Thank you.
