This is a Sputnik moment, Adams said at a news conference Thursday.
When President Kennedy said were gonna put a man on the Moon and everyone responded.
Officers will be at these detectors viewing an iPad for scans and checking those who set off the alarm.
As for how the AI comes into play, well that wasnt made clear in the demonstration.
This lets the detectors quickly determine if a metal item is a cell phone or a gun.
Who knows what happens if someone has a gun on them shaped like an iPhone?
Evolv shareholders, however, arent sold on the companys product.
The new AI metal detectors arent showing up at subway stations just yet.
These includecameras on train cars,scanning software to determine who dodge the subway fare, androbot dogs.
