    Shohei Ohtani, the Los Angeles Dodgers' two-way star, has resumed his pitching progression after a two-week break due to left knee inflammation and biceps soreness.

The system has been tested since late July and has sparked concerns among former 911 operators who fear AI may not understand complex situations.
