The tech in a nutshell, for those that don't click on links.

Evolv machines use "active sensing" — a light-emission technique that also underpins radar and lidar — to create images. Then it applies AI to examine them. Data scientists at the Waltham, Mass., company have created "signatures" (basically, visual blueprints) and trained the AI to compare them to the scanner images.

Detecting guns does nothing to stop evil intent on killing anyone in the area.
