Editor Notes: The 118 false positives can be considered a privacy invasion, and according to some cited legal advocacy groups, a violation of due process. Reconstructing the timeline of events: (1) March 28, 2024: Mayor Eric Adams announces plans to deploy Evolv's AI-powered weapons scanners in selected NYC subway stations. (2) Summer 2024: Pilot program begins, deploying AI scanners across 20 subway stations. (3) September 2024: NYPD completes a 30-day testing period with the scanners, performing 2,749 scans and recording 118 false positives and no firearms detections. (4) October 23, 2024: NYPD releases a brief statement summarizing the pilot results, which is marked at the incident date for our purposes, even though each false positive (as well as the potential for firearms to have slipped past detection) may be considered discrete incidents in and of themselves.
