NYC Mayor Eric Adams announces a plan to deploy AI-powered metal detectors in subway stations to improve safety.

The introduction of these detectors follows a recent subway shooting incident, prompting the city to act.

A pilot program will test gun-detecting technology that distinguishes firearms from other metallic objects.

The technology, supplied by Evolv, has raised concerns by the Legal Aid Society over potential flaws and false alarms.

Privacy issues and accuracy of the detectors are under scrutiny, but the city will proceed under the POST Act guidelines.

New York State's ban on guns in public transportation areas is facing legal challenges from gun owners' rights groups.

After a 90-day waiting period, the scanners will be implemented in select subway stations to evaluate their effectiveness.
