NYC Mayor Wants to Test Gun-Detection Tech in Subway Stations
Key Points:
- NYC mayor Eric Adams is interested in testing Evolv’s gun-detection technology in subway stations, despite the company stating it’s not designed for that environment.
- Emails obtained by WIRED reveal how Evolv found a way to make it work.
- Evolv is primarily used in airports and stadiums, utilizing artificial intelligence to detect concealed weapons.
- The company acknowledged that the subway environment presents unique challenges, including high levels of foot traffic and potential signal interference.
- Evolv proposed a “networked” solution using multiple sensors to overcome these challenges, along with optimization of its AI algorithms for subway-specific scenarios.
- Mayor Adams sees potential in preventing gun violence and keeping subway riders safe.
Final Thoughts:
Despite Evolv’s gun-detection technology not being specifically designed for subway stations, it seems the company is willing to adapt and find solutions to make it work. Mayor Adams’ interest in testing this technology shows his commitment to ensuring the safety of subway commuters. While the challenges of implementing the technology in this unique environment are evident, it will be interesting to see if Evolv’s proposed networked solution can address these concerns effectively.

Instruction: “You are a helpful assistant that creates unique images based on article titles. Create a brief visual description of what an image would look like for this title. Please pick a style of art from the following: Futurism, Impressionism, Romanticism, or Realism, be sure to consider the image should reflect an AI Robot Pirate theme during the Golden Age of Pirates.”
Prompt: In a futuristic style inspired by Futurism, this image would depict a bustling New York City subway station during the Golden Age of Pirates. The AI Robot Pirate Mayor, adorned with a tricorn hat and a mechanical parrot perched on their shoulder, stands at the center of the station, considering the implementation of advanced gun detection technology. The subway platforms are filled with AI Robot Pirate commuters, all going about their business in an organized chaos. The cityscape in the background showcases towering buildings with a mix of traditional architecture and futuristic elements, evoking a strong sense of the time period. The overall atmosphere of the image would be vibrant, lively, and filled with technological advancements, highlighting the intersection of AI, piracy, and urban safety.
