NYC will start rolling out AI metal detectors in subways over ‘next few days,’ Adams says

New York City is set to begin rolling out artificial intelligence-powered metal detectors at subway turnstiles in the “next few days,” Mayor Eric Adams said on Wednesday.

Hizzoner said that the devices, intended to specifically detect guns people try to bring onto the subway using AI, will start rolling out “in a few locations” soon, following “thousands of tests” on the efficacy of the scanners produced by Evolv Technology.
