Abstract: Computing platforms and methods for dynamic presentation of graphical and video content are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: provide, in a static browsing state, a static image associated with underlying video content; in response to an extended focus on the static image for a first threshold amount of time, expand a visual tile to a widescreen aspect ratio while remaining in the static browsing state; after a second threshold amount of time, initiate a dwell browsing state in which dwell tile content is provided in the expanded visual tile, while other content remains in the static browsing state; in response to a determination that the playback device supports a dwell video mode, play a video asset within the expanded visual tile; and in response to a determination that the playback device does not support the dwell video mode, provide an alternate non-video visual asset within the expanded visual tile.

Abstract: An allocation platform for resource provisioning can dynamically allocate resources. The allocation platform can obtain input data, historical data, and a total number of resources to allocate. The allocation platform can input the input data and the total resources into a first AI model, which outputs provisions allocating the total resources among numerous artifacts. The allocation platform can input the historical data into a second AI model, which outputs statuses associated with components, where the components are associated with each artifact. The allocation platform can then input the provisions and the statuses into a third AI model, which outputs bids associated with the artifacts. The allocation platform can output these bids to a resource provisioning platform. The allocation platform can modify the bids based on performance of the bids and a best-fit curve for the historical data. The allocation platform can output the modified bids to the resource provisioning platform.

The ERDS provides an emergency management application operable by an emergency communications center (ECC) computing system to display an emergency management user interface (UI) at one or more ECC. The ERDS stores, in one or more data structures, historical emergency response analytics. The ERDS receives, with the emergency management UI, user instructions related to the historical emergency response analytics. The ERDS provides the user instructions to the AI agent network. The ERDS generates, with the AI agent network, emergency response suggestions. The AI agent network includes a number of AI agents communicatively coupled together to analyze emergency response data and generate suggestions to facilitate operational efficiency of an ECC.
