Artificial intelligence technology can secure sites by scanning major venues for weapons

Experts discuss how artificial intelligence is being used to protect venues by screening for items such as bombs, guns, and knives. Artificial intelligence, or AI, is being used to help secure sites from sports arenas to churches and schools. The technology is being used to scan for weapons, including guns, knives and explosives as people walk between standing panels. If a weapon is spotted, security standing by is alerted. Massachusetts based Evolv has used the technology to scan roughly 300 million people across the country since the system went live in 2019, second only to the TSA.
