Uber is also an app in your phone.
The app can request your location from your phone's GPS because phone apps were designed to be allowed to do this. Once the app has your location it can share it with Uber servers to find you a driver.
911 is not an app. It's just a phone number your call. Smart phones were never designed to share location information with the phone network. That means the person who answers on the other end of 911 can't request your GPS location.
I hear this is changing, but the technical, political, bureaucratic, and privacy hurdles are many.

There is a depressingly large corpus of data with true positives. We may as well use it for something.
Though, I'm skeptical of AI bros claiming their AIs are a) capable b) the best solution to any problem.
AI has its place, but people marketing AI almost always rely on the public's misunderstanding of the tech to oversell.

The problem is: how do you determine an AI can reliably detect deep fakes? What makes an AI more trustworthy than your interpretation?
We're entering an age where "trust" literacy is as important as literal literacy.
Critical thinking, understanding chains of trust, heuristics, partial information, and probabilities of truth are things we're all going to need to understand and won't be able to delegate to AIs.
