Abstract
What Is the Issue? Health care systems in Canada, including prehospital emergency health care services, are facing staffing shortages and increased patient volumes, and are looking for creative solutions to ensure the provision of high-quality care. What Is the Technology? Artificial intelligence (AI) combines computer science and data to mimic human thought processes, problem solving, and responses. AI relies on statistical models, algorithms, data analysis, and machine learning to make predictions based on past behaviours or results (predictive AI) or to learn from past data to generate new content (generative AI). Chatbots, such as ChatGPT, are examples of generative AI. What Is the Potential Impact? In health care settings, AI can be used to automate some clinical and administrative processes to create efficiencies and reduce burden on health care providers and health administrators. In a prehospital setting, this can include AI used at the dispatch stage (e.g., analyzing the conversation and prompting a dispatcher with additional questions, or translating speech to help a dispatcher understand a caller in real time) or in an ambulance (e.g., providing traffic analysis or information to support optimal patient management). What Else Do We Keed to Know? The use of AI in prehospital emergency health care is still in the early stages of development and implementation. Early implementation of AI programs such as those to detect out of hospital cardiac events and to triage emergency calls during peak times are underway in some countries. More real-world clinical trials and research are required before widespread implementation will take place.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
