Evolv Technology, the leader in weapons detection security screening, announced its newest partnership, with Distrito T-Mobile. The entertainment complex is Evolv's first customer in Puerto Rico, and reflects the company's growing presence outside of the continental United States. AI and ML News: Why SMBs Shouldn't Be Afraid of Artificial Intelligence (AI) "This partnership is exciting because not only does Evolv help visitors to Distrito T-Mobile stay safe, but the work we are doing together marks our expansion into Puerto Rico" Distrito T-Mobile, which opened in August 2021 and is located in the Miramar section of San Juan, drew more than 1.7 million visitors in its first six months of operation. Evolv's state-of-the-art Evolv Express weapons screening solution allows visitors to seamlessly walk into the 476,000 square-foot complex, without burdensome delays at the entrance. "Distrito T-Mobile is just getting started," said Francisco Mariani, Distrito T-Mobile's General Manager.

The most annoying thing about airports is going through security. But a startup called Evolv Technology is getting set to begin public tests of a new AI-powered body scanner, which it claims will allow people to saunter through checkpoints without breaking stride or emptying their pockets. The Guardian reports that Evolv has built its scanner using the same millimeter-wave imaging frequencies as existing (and often controversial) full-body scanners. But instead of having someone stand still in a circular booth, the company scans its radar beams up and down people as they walk, measuring how the waves scatter off them. The data isn't used to create an image like those normally shown to security staff. Instead, it's processed by a machine-learning algorithm that's been trained to spot dangerous items like explosives and weapons.
