- The paper reports that the watch recognized the fall and automatically called 112 and alerted emergency contacts. Those alerts brought responders to the man behind the hedge. Humans provided resuscitation, defibrillation, and surgery. The watch's contribution is documented in the clinical narrative, but the time to rescue or outcome without it cannot be measured from this case. Apple's documentation describes the detection and notification sequence without disclosing the classifier or model version.

UDK measures model quality by the share of cases the team accepts for manual processing. Every outcome figure is a UDK statement (FOI responses and a letter) as reproduced verbatim in Amnesty International's report. No official publication of them is among the sources. Amnesty contests effectiveness and alleges discrimination risks, and UDK rejected parts of Amnesty's assessment. NNIT built the models to ATP's specifications.

The Hakkari police chief called him on the evening of 20 March. Officers then stopped the car at a fixed checkpoint, searched the concealed compartment and arrested the driver; prosecutors and the court did the rest. No source describes the program's inputs, the data it matched, or whether an analyst reviewed the flag before the stop.

ChinaZ says the WeChat Pay customer service judged “from experience” that this was a dating scam, which reads as a human agent. Neither report says how the transaction was flagged or whether any model was involved. The advice, not the flag alone, led Zhang to cancel.

- AI contribution
- The system's contribution was detection and summons. The wearable ECG stream showed the heart rate climbing to 192 beats per minute. The remote central monitor identified ventricular tachycardia and raised an alarm. The attending director says that is how staff learned of it at once and reached the bedside to begin CPR within the golden time. The resuscitation itself was done by people. The counterfactual rests on the hospital's framing that general-ward patients are not under continuous observation and that deterioration can be noticed late. How long this patient would otherwise have gone unobserved is not recorded. No medical record or independent assessment has been published. The case reached the press through a Daewoong Pharmaceutical announcement of 11 February 2026.

- The model's contribution was the referral. DHS says it identified a suspicious pattern in the car's border-crossing history and flagged it for review. Mayorkas said the anomaly was identified in 1.4 seconds. The discovery of the narcotics and the arrest were done by officers in secondary review. No source states whether the car would have been referred without the flag. The model's counterfactual contribution is thus asserted by DHS, not demonstrated. The Monitor entry also bundles Mayorkas's claim that AI age-progression imagery has recovered abducted children. That claim names no case, date, or child.

- AI contribution
- The model read the exercise-ECG signals and report features. It returned a 72% probability of severe coronary narrowing, above the moderate-risk verdict of the manual reading and risk score. On that basis the cardiologist ordered angiography, which showed the 99% stenosis, and he stented it. The counterfactual rests on the treating cardiologist's statement, carried by three outlets and the hospital's release. He said the manual reading would have led to drug treatment and follow-up only. The hospital that says so also built the model. The dates of the reading and procedure are not reported. The published model's specificity of 0.60 means such flags are often false positives.

- The app did the detecting. Staff scanned the admit card's QR code and captured the woman's photo. It flagged a mismatch with the photo on record (New Indian Express). It “revealed that she was not the genuine candidate” (The Hindu). The Hindu and the Times of India both report the forged card's contents. It carried her own photograph with the genuine candidate's hall ticket number and QR code. Comparing the card with her face would therefore not have exposed her. The flag depended on the app's match against the registered photograph. Staff then acted, but she fled before the principal was told. No arrest or sanction is attributable to the system. KEA's probe and the promised legal action were still pending in every report.

- Alice's role was detection. Per Inforchannel it pulls the estimated value from notice text, runs nine text analyses for competitiveness restrictions and 23 database cross-checks. The auditor's statement and the JOTA article attribute the discovery of the BR-153 notices to Alice. The cancellation was a decision of the TCU plenary (Acórdão 1116/2017). Both sources rest on TCU staff statements, the deployer describing its own in-house tool. The source counts as independent because TCU is a public body, not a vendor. The acórdão text was not obtained, so the two accounts' differing figures (R$39 million, two notices; R$20 million, one notice) cannot be reconciled.

Man credits Grok AI with saving his life after ER missed near-ruptured appendix
AI’s part and evidence for Grok tells a man sent home to demand a CT; appendix near rupture

- The shared conversation shows what Grok contributed. He described constant pain for six hours, worse lying flat and eased by sitting with knees to chest, with no fever. Grok ranked perforated peptic ulcer first and early or atypical appendicitis second. It called that a pattern doctors take very seriously. It urged an ER visit that night for a CT or ultrasound. Once he said the legevakt had sent him home with Somac, it scripted a request for a senior doctor and a CT scan. He told Grok afterwards that asking for the CT got him prioritized for surgery. Whether his local physician or the hospital would have imaged him without that request is unknown. TipRanks reports from the thread that he told the doctors his sister, a nurse, had suggested the scan. The Reddit post the press quoted was drafted by Grok from his description. It says he walked back to the ER, where his later comments say the physician referred him the next day.

- The police press release documents the system's contribution step by step. After a judge-confirmed emergency order, the girl's photo was entered into the database. Late on 9 October the AI produced an automated match alert for Taunusstraße. A video operator checked it and a patrol confirmed it in person. The police had only indications that she might be in the district, so the AI supplied the place and the moment. Human verification and the patrol did the rest. Whether and how soon conventional patrols would have found her is not reported.

- The sources attribute three things to the robot's AI. It fused MRI, DTI, CT and DSA into one 3D image showing fiber tracts and clot. It allowed a rehearsal so the skull opening and path avoided the tracts. It gave green-amber-red warnings during surgery when the instrument strayed from the planned path. Clot removal, hemostasis and the awake function tests were done by the surgical and anesthesia teams. No source compares this with conventional surgery for this patient. None says what in the system is machine learning rather than image processing, so the counterfactual is unproven. One sentence in two reports calls the patient Mr. Vinh; all otherwise call him Mr. Hải.

- The system's documented contribution is the first alert. By the temple's own log it detected smoke at 05:30, a minute before the lithium batteries burst at 05:33. It messaged the front desk, the general manager and the chairman in sequence over LINE. That is how a chairman asleep in Nara came to follow the fire on the temple's cameras. The suppression was human. The clerk's extinguisher failed once the batteries burst. The Yunlin County Fire Bureau's eight trucks and eighteen firefighters, called at 05:36, controlled the fire at 06:10. UDN reports that a residential smoke alarm (住警器) sounded as well. The Third Brigade commander 陳岳謄 attributed the containment to the building's reinforced-concrete structure and the crews' quick arrival without mentioning the AI. The LINE relay from the vendor is the chairman's account, not the bureau's.

- Autoland engaged itself when cabin altitude exceeded the limit. It declared the emergency to controllers with automated “pilot incapacitation” broadcasts. It flew the descent, approach and landing. The pilots elected to leave it engaged rather than take over. So the landing is the system's work. But the counterfactual, that they could not have landed, is not established. Garmin, the FAA and the operator all call it an automated system. None calls it AI. It is here because the OECD Monitor lists it as an AI system.

- The AI smoke-recognition system and micro-sensors supplied the detection that sent inspectors to the burning site. CNA dates it first to 4 July 2025, then repeatedly in July and August. It also supplied the video that recorded the offender. It could not read his faded motorcycle plate. So identification came from private CCTV, dashcam footage and a police officer's recognition of a local resident. The system's contribution is detection and documentation. Removal of the source depended on human investigation. No measured air-quality change or proven counterfactual is reported. So the record sits at protective response with prevention unproven rather than specific harm prevented.

- The system itself generated the detection and the alerts. A few hundred phones triggered on the P wave. The system detected the event 5.31 s after origin and issued alerts within 0.43 s. Magnitude estimates were updated over the next 12 s. All performance figures and user-response data come from Google-authored papers (Mousavi et al. 2026; Allen et al. 2025). That is said plainly here. The only independent cited source, the BBC, concerns the 2023 underestimation. The read papers describe the detection as an on-phone algorithm that analyzes acceleration time series for sudden changes. They do not use the terms machine learning or artificial intelligence. Whether the system uses AI is not established by the sources.

- Screenshots attached to the post show Grok answering three questions about the uploaded image. It said there is “a clear fracture line visible in the distal radius”. It said the line is “a fracture line rather than a fused growth plate”. It said the break is “quite obvious” with “dorsal displacement”. Each time it advised a professional consultation. The orthopaedist's reading matched. But the mother states that she did not mention Grok to the specialist and that the diagnosis was “completely independent”. She had already asked for the X-ray prints to take to the PCP. Grok's contribution was therefore to strengthen her resolve to seek a second opinion. Everything rests on her account. No clinician, clinic or record has spoken publicly. The next day Grok told a physician who asked that it cannot diagnose medical injuries.

A rule-based Speed Range Event flagged the vessel at under 6 knots inside an area of interest. 40 minutes later a Fishing Event from its machine-learning model, which detects longlining, trawling and squid jigging, reinforced the suspicion. PNA analysts then redirected a coastguard vessel. A retired PNA captain is quoted saying Skylight contributed directly to the decision. This is the maker's account, with the deployer's officers quoted inside it. The independent report (Agenda Malvinas, citing Pescare and official information) attributes the detection to the PNA's Sistema Guardacostas and does not name Skylight or AI. So the attribution to the AI output is not independently confirmed. The PNA release Skylight links to is not among the sources.

- The only description of what FSD did is Franklin's. Engaged by a double click of the stalk, it drove 13 miles to the VA emergency room without intervention and offered to park on arrival. No Tesla vehicle data, dashcam footage, hospital record, emergency-service log or official statement has been found. No outlet reports having interviewed him or the hospital. Tesla's corporate account and Elon Musk reposted the story on 11 April 2024 but added no facts. The photos attached to the post are two hospital-bed selfies and a night shot of a Model Y in a wet car park. They show no route, timestamp or hospital name. Some syndicated coverage garbles the story (Sky TG24 places him in Virginia and describes low blood sugar). The counterfactual, calling emergency services, driving himself or not reaching care, is unexamined. Commenters cited by Il Fatto Quotidiano argued he should have called for help.

- The model's contribution was the detection. Its algorithm flagged a smoke column in a Cleveland National Forest camera feed at about 3 am. Human operators verified it before Cal Fire was alerted. The containment was done by Captain Yeary's crews. No source records whether a 911 call would have come later. The time gained is documented only for the program as a whole. TIME reports 77 fires identified before any 911 call in the first two months. UC San Diego's Neal Driscoll says the alerts beat 911 calls about 40 percent of the time. AFP also notes the system sometimes misreads dust, insects or weather as smoke. That is why the human verification step sits between the model and the dispatch.

- The algorithm detected the mass on the real-time MRI data and raised the alert while the patient was still in the scanner. Physicians then read the images, judged the finding consistent with a diffuse glioma and admitted her. The diagnosis itself came from the pathology report after the stereotactic biopsy. What the AI contributed is detection and speed, not a different diagnosis or treatment. The counterfactual is unproven. The authors say radiology would typically take days to report and that further investigations are needed on the advantages of earlier treatment. They give no evidence of what delay this patient would otherwise have faced. The case is reported by the team that built and deployed the algorithm, and the Anadolu Agency coverage carries that team's account. No independent clinical review is cited.

- The arrest report says the platform “utilizes safety and security measures designed to monitor for key phrases and potentially threatening content”. It says the messages were “escalated to a human review team”. An automated layer therefore surfaced the two messages, and people judged their severity and made the referral. The sources do not say whether the flag came from a classifier or a keyword rule. Straight Arrow News, citing court records, says the review team escalated to the FBI, which notified the sheriff's office. Identifying the user, the home visit, the Miranda interview and the charging decision were the work of Lee County deputies and Intelligence Detective Thomas Alejo. The arrest report calls the platform “Anthropic Artificial Intelligence”. Press reports name Claude, and court records note the user told the detective she used Perplexity.

- The system is called yapay zeka tabanlı (AI-based) in DHA's report, on the students' description. None of the read reports explains how it detects quakes, what data it uses, or whether the alert time was logged. The 30-second lead is the statement of student Birkan Yılmaz, a member of the team that built it. DHA carried it and Haberler, Yeni Akit and Yeni Çağ reproduced it. No MP, AFAD or Kandilli comment on the alert was found. Leaving the building was a human response to the notification and to the shaking.

- If the reports are right, the alert was produced end to end by Google's system. Accelerometer triggers from many phones were combined on Google's servers to detect the quake. Alerts were then pushed ahead of the slower waves, as Google's 2020 description and the 2025 Science paper set out. Google's own pages do not use the words AI or machine learning. The Science abstract speaks of smartphone-based earthquake detection algorithms. The OECD Monitor classifies the system as AI doing event detection. That alerts arrived seconds before shaking rests on unattributed statements in four Greek outlets published within a day of the quake. None quotes a recipient, a seismologist or Google. No Google per-event confirmation was found.

Identification and investigation were done by officials. The peer-reviewed account is co-authored by the developers (RESOLVE, CVEDIA) with Dudhwa and Wildlife Institute of India staff and stops at “investigating”. The arrest claim rests on a Clemson release quoting the ex-field director, developer press releases and The Hindu quoting the manufacturer and an unnamed participant.

- Officials said the network detected the comment, classified it as dangerous and reported it. It went to the FBI and a 24/7 channel shared by prosecutors and the cybercrime police. Alarcón also spoke of corroborating “datos de analítica artificial” before the visit. No source says the flag was automated. Meta documents that its technology proactively detects most violating content before anyone reports it, but its referrals to law enforcement also pass through human review. Identifying the user, the home visit and the psychological support were the work of Paraguayan police, prosecutors and the child-protection office.

- Qualcomm attributes the fault that caused the collapse to a communication glitch in the prototype. The claimed benefit is that the robot's safety software then executed a designed “safe-collapse” to its knees. That claim comes only from Qualcomm's statement to Creative Bloq, and no engineering account exists. NDTV, Asianet, TechSpot and Creative Bloq describe a face-first or backward fall followed by staff dropping the robot. Whether any safety routine ran, and whether it protected anything, is unsupported. The AI platform's role in the event is the malfunction itself.

It does not say whether Meta's classifier or a user report raised the flag in the Jhunjhunu case, nor what happened on arrival. Meta's own description (2018, updated 2021) says machine-learning detection is followed by human review before authorities are contacted. The intervention itself was police work. PTI also notes that no red-flag tags had been reported in Kota city since the launch.

- The AI-supported scan read identified the major stroke immediately on arrival, enabling a 25-minute door-in-door-out. The treatment itself (thrombectomy) was delivered by the Oxford team. The stroke would very likely have been diagnosed without AI. So the AI's contribution is the speed of decision and transfer. The Lancet Digital Health study (which has Brainomix co-authors alongside NHS lead authors) supports that at population level.

- RapidAI's automated LVO detection delivered the alert that prompted Dr Mehta to mobilize the cath lab team and fast-track thrombectomy. Under the Memorial stroke protocol EMS had already pre-notified the hospital and the neurointerventional team was ready before imaging. The occlusion would have been identified on the CT scan regardless. So the AI's contribution is speed at the point of care, and its share of the time saved cannot be separated from the pre-notification. The only counterfactual offered is Dr Mehta's general description of the pre-RapidAI workflow.

- The ML impact forecast was the trigger. Under the EAP, early actions fire on the forecast wind impact on housing 72 hours before landfall. The trigger: at least 10% of houses totally damaged in more than three municipalities. The notification records the Aurora municipalities as “Met (More than 10%)”. The 72-hour lead-time condition was not met. The final report says the 56-hour lead time was exceptionally granted. The notification says the projection came from the 510/IBF forecast incorporating PAGASA data. PRC staff confirmed chapter capacity and chose municipalities. The outcome claim is PRC's own post-storm survey. The NHESS paper and EGU abstract on the model have 510 staff as co-authors, not lead authors.

GFW's own article credits named analysts who tracked AIS data, predicted the course and identified rendezvous points. It does not mention algorithms, machine learning or automated detection. OceanMind's homepage states only that it uses satellites, AI and human expertise in general. The AI role is thus undocumented rather than established.
