"NYC to Deploy AI Gun Scanners in Subway to Deter Violence"

The NYPD plans to test metal detectors equipped with artificial intelligence technology in NYC subway stations to curb gun violence, with Mayor Eric Adams comparing the move to the "Sputnik moment." The scanners, manufactured by Evolv, have faced scrutiny, but the city is considering their deployment after a 90-day trial period. The technology aims to distinguish between weapons and everyday items without using facial recognition, but critics have raised concerns about privacy and the effectiveness of gun detection technology.

Enhancing School Safety: AI-powered Gun Detection Implemented in Philadelphia Middle Schools

Philadelphia district's middle schools will implement AI-powered gun detection technology that uses minimally invasive scanning to detect weapons without requiring students to remove their bags or be searched. Drones will also be used to monitor events and enhance security presence, while digital cameras will replace analog ones to improve security footage management. Off-duty city police officers will be stationed outside schools as needed, and safety zones will be created for schools with significant police presence. The "safe paths" program, which pays community members to patrol areas around schools, will be expanded to more schools.
