I'm not sure how I feel about the authorities being alerted. What if someone is kinda bored and is looking for videos for educational use.

Edit: ok I read the headline wrong. Oops

I may be reading it wrong but this is just not what the article says.

By "highlight authoritative sources" they mean display credible videos made by the authorities at the very top of the search results.

And within the article you'll read that one of the first instructions given in said videos is to call an emergency service, and not that youtube is going to do it for you

Where does it say that? The article only mentions authoritative videos, which means they have been made or approved by authorities, not that watching the videos will interact with them in any way.
