Evolv Technologies’ AI weapons detection systems are used in multiple Tennessee school districts.

The technology scans students and other visitors for weapons, using AI , without requiring them to remove items from their person.

The FTC filed a complaint last week alleging the company made false and unsupported claims that its technology is more efficient, accurate, and cheaper than traditional metal detectors.

The company agreed to allow a limited number of K-12 customers to cancel their contracts.
