Humans make final emergency calls

The law defines artificial intelligence for Nevada emergency management. The Governor’s statewide plan and every state or local emergency operations plan must state that a real person makes the final decision. Final calls on emergency response and how to assign people, equipment, and money cannot be made by AI.

No AI-only utility shutoffs in emergencies

Public utilities cannot make a final decision to reduce or shut off service during a disaster or an emergency based only on AI. A human must review the situation and make the final service decision. This applies to disasters and emergencies defined under Nevada law.
