NYC Mayor Adams to Test AI Gun Detectors in Subway System

The CEO of Evolv Technologies, the company whose weapon-detection system was showcased by NYC Mayor Adams as a potential solution to subway violence, had previously stated that subways were not a good use-case for their technology due to operational and logistical challenges. Despite this, Mayor Adams announced plans to bring weapon detection technology to the transit system, with a trial run potentially starting in July. Evolv Technologies is working with the NYPD to understand how their technology can align with security and operational objectives, while also being the subject of inquiries by the Federal Trade Commission regarding the effectiveness of their technology.

"Israeli Technology Tested as Hamas Threatens Retaliation"

The recent attacks by Hamas on Israel have exposed significant failures in Israel's highly regarded security technology, including the $1 billion security barrier on the Gaza border, the Iron Dome missile defense system, and the surveillance system. The attacks have prompted a shocked reconsideration of Israel's technical sophistication and have raised questions about the effectiveness of its defense technology. The unexpected sophistication of Hamas and their ability to evade Israeli surveillance and overwhelm their technology has sent shockwaves through the defense establishments in Washington and Europe. The attack has also highlighted the limitations of Israel's high-tech economy and the need for a balance between technology and human intelligence in addressing security challenges.
