Evolv Express is a controversial "concealed weapons detection system" that is said to use "advanced sensor technology and AI" to detect guns, knives, bombs and other concealed offensive weaponry at schools, hospitals, sports and entertainment venues, and public events.

Massachusetts-based Evolv Technology, which manufactures Evolv Express, says it uses "proven" AI and machine learning to enable scanners to create unique "signatures" of weapons, thereby differentiating them from items such as computers or keys and reducing manual checks and preventing long queues.ย
