Incident 3493 Report
Evolv AI Weapons Detection System Allegedly Misrepresents Accuracy, Leading to School Security Gaps

2022-03-22

Evolv's AI-powered weapons scanners were advertised as superior to metal detectors but reportedly failed to detect actual weapons while generating excessive false positives. The FTC alleged that misleading claims about the system's accuracy and speed contributed to schools relying on unreliable detection, with at least one incident in October 2022 involving a missed knife that resulted in a student being stabbed.
