Evolv Technology makes “intelligent” scanners designed to replace metal detectors by identifying people with concealed guns, knives and bombs. But the company has come under mounting criticism for overstating what the technology can deliver. Evolv told BBC News it had altered its claims about UK testing to “better reflect the process taken”.
Lol, don’t forget Irish grandmothers are a threat too.
This is a Theranos level of fake it till you make it: lie about where the product is used, who approves it and how well it works and hope the reality catches up quicker than clients.
It’s pretty clear the technology is not ready for this, and once again regulators and prosecutors won’t move a finger to prevent potential harm.
we have this at work, utterly useless. water bottles and tape measures routinely set it off, and knives get in “accidentally” all the time.
Same. We are allowed to carry knives in to work so I carry a work knife in and it never sets the thing off, but my laptop in my backpack does every single day.
That’s just stupid. AI is NOT ready to be used for important security applications.
