Evolv Technology has reached a settlement with the FTC over misleading claims regarding its AI weapons scanning technology, which purportedly could detect all types of weapons.
Samuel Levine, FTC Bureau of Consumer Protection Director, emphasized the importance of substantiating claims about technology and warned AI companies regarding the accuracy of their advertisements.
Reports have shown inconsistencies in Evolv's claims; their scanners have been criticized for failing to reliably detect firearms and knives, raising significant safety concerns.
Evolv's CEO previously boasted about the technology's capabilities in detecting various weapons, but independent investigations have contradicted these statements, highlighting the need for responsible AI usage.
