A security company which sells AI weapons scanners to schools is facing scrutiny after its $3.7m system reportedly failed to detect a knife used in a stabbing of a student.
Evolv Technology is aiming to replace traditional metal scanners with AI weapons scanners, which are designed to detect knives, bombs and guns.
But on Halloween last year, a student was able to enter Proctor High School in Utica, New York, with a knife - despite the school having the multi-million system in place.
