1/Behavioral Health Link develops & markets #CrisisLines services to #988Lifeline providers. One of their offerings: "Voice-Currently in R&D, voice analysis technology to provide real time feedback on a caller’s emotional state to improve care delivery."web.archive.org/web/2022120220…
2/I've started mentioning Dr. John Draper's connection there, recently hired as their President of R & D. You may recall Draper was the long-time leader of Vibrant Emotional Health's administration of the Nat'l Suicide Prevention Lifeline,now #988Lifeline. linkedin.com/in/john-draper…
3/Between end of March & now, Behavioral Health Link took down its page of software solutions. Maybe it will go back up but I'd like to know why it's gone. Seems they've sanitized the site of their " #AI " type services. No doubt still in development. web.archive.org/web/2023041614…
4/If I were to guess, it's deliberate public relations move to pre-empt backlash like hit #CrisisTextLine when @Ali_Lev's POLITICO piece widely exposed their for-profit spinoff Loris ai (Loris is still in business, CTL still has license income agree AFAIK)

5/I'm again warning of these for-profit automated intrusions into #CrisisLines care.

6/I'm pointing to a network of connections (#RedYarn yep) among profit, non-profit, research, influential persons & organizations--driving these policy movements, w/o giving voice to those using the services.
7/I'm talking about automation of triaging the queue (already happening #CrisisTextLine & #TheTrevorProject), assessing volunteer "effectiveness", creating mass data stores of conversations w/o consent for further #NLP intrusions to feed the whole cycle again. Spanish next.
8/Some of us are in beginning stages moving towards organizing volunteers. With insights learned from some really supportive people, I believe this is only way to have influence against current powerful de-humanizing trends in crisis care. Watch for opportunities ahead.🌈🌧️🌞
PS I also worry the net of data collection will expand such as creating "profile" of person reaching out to #CrisisLines, in name of saving a life. #CrisisTextLine keeps all past conversations linked to a number. Will 3rd party surveillance data be linked? reformcrisistextline.com/how-to-delete-…

Notice "VOICE - powered by MIMOSYS" at the taken-down webpage archive link above. Here's an article about the MIMOSYS "Mind Monitoring" system. openaccessgovernment.org/voice-analysis… references at bottom of article. I worry about this #AIHype, harms it can bring to vulnerable + profit motive.
