Break 1: MOG (07.14.22 KIA MOG)   STORY 1: Gwinnett installing weapons detection systems in football stadiums Gwinnett County high schools are set to introduce new weapons detection tools at football games to enhance safety and prevent incidents like bringing guns or knives into stadiums. This initiative, announced by Superintendent Calvin Watts, follows a school board decision to invest $3 million in the technology from Evolv Technology. The decision comes in the wake of a fatal shooting at Apalachee High School, highlighting the urgent need for improved security measures. While these systems will initially be used at football games due to the high number of visitors and fewer controls, broader implementation across other athletic events and schools is still under consideration. The district aims to address safety concerns while continuing to focus on educational goals such as literacy proficiency. STORY 2:  Unity Atlanta Church In Peachtree Corners Celebrating 100th Anniversary Unity Atlanta Church is celebrating its 100th anniversary with a series of events culminating in Sunday's 11 a.m. service, featuring the Bridge of Faith ceremony. This annual event symbolizes the church's journey from the past to the future, with a symbolic bridge that participants cross. The celebration includes music by the Soulful Harmonics Band and a processional led by the youth and family ministry. Throughout the weekend, the church will host a reception, silent auction, gala celebration, and potluck dinner. The church, which has focused on spiritual growth through programs like "The Quest," also emphasizes community service and healing ministries. The anniversary serves as a time to welcome new members and reconnect with lapsed ones, while continuing to promote inclusivity and spiritual practice.

Anil Chitkara, Co-Founder and Head of Corporate Development for Evolv Technology, started his company with one goal: to keep people safe from harm at events or other venues and locations where threats could exist. For most of Evolv's existence, those threats were violent, either from potential terrorist attacks or an active shooter situation. But COVID-19 shined a light on a different risk to the health of the public at large. When considering entertainment spaces, security checkpoints now have a new consideration: how to make the venue safe from a deadly disease. Chitkara discussed these scenarios and how Evolv's touchless security solutions can help. “We've all been through airports. We know what airport screening is like,” Chitkara said. “We looked at all these other places where people are and [asked], 'How can we help the security professionals in those areas maintain a safe venue or environment?'” Theaters, performing arts centers, concert arenas, sports venues, theme parks and amphitheaters are all focuses of Evolv's technology solutions. The company's goal is to take a slow and manual security process and make it faster and more comfortable for the guest to enter the venue. The security process for many entertainment venues today is not a friendly experience, and Chitkara wants to change that. “Not only is it not what the customer entering into the venue wants, but it also is not what the band and the concert venue want,” Chitkara said. “They want their customer to be excited from the day they purchase their ticket up to the moment they walk up to the arena. The biggest pain point of the guest experience is that security screening. There hasn't been a great solution up to now.” Rethinking the whole approach to security through technology and doing it in a fan-friendly way is Chitkara's mission. Evolv's touchless security approach makes entry easier for the patron. And, during this time of healthcare concerns, the less security needs to come into physical contact with someone entering the venue, the lower the risk of spreading viruses.

The best-laid plans often go awry...as they say. Today is March 23, 2020, the day we were SUPPOSED to be at the MIT Media Lab hosting 100's of people at our annual Connected Things 2020 Conference. But instead of having a cocktail ? at the networking reception right now, I'm drinking at my kitchen table (just kidding) writing this post about our latest podcast, a quick chat I had with Mark Thirman, chair of the Connected Things Conference committee about how we plan on using this "extra time" between the original date (today) and the new date (September 14) to expand the conversation around the conference theme of IoT, AI, and ML as it relates to our new reality in the time of COVID-19. Mark and I are so thankful for our panelists, volunteers, keynotes Jonathan Ballon, Vice President, Internet of Things Group, Intel, Michael Ellenbogen, Founder & Head of Advanced Technology, Evolv Technology, Dr. Shane Rooney, Executive Director, IoT Networks, GSMA, and Gabi Zijderveld, Chief Marketing Officer, Affectiva our sponsors and partners, American Tower, Davis Malm, Nutter, Verizon, Very, ISM Connect, the Industrial Internet Consortium, and AWS...who are all still joining us for the rescheduled September 14 event. We look forward to raising a glass with everyone when we can see you in person, but right now, we hope you're all staying healthy (and sane) and we look forward to continuing the Connected Things conversation with you digitally for now!

Evolv Technology adds a layer of physical security for venues using connected AI and edge processing methods. In this Connected Things 2020 preview podcast, we chat with Michael Ellenbogen, Founder & Head of Advanced Technology, Evolv Technology, about safety as a basic human right. Evolv's vision is to create a layer of unobtrusive physical security to keep the “bad guys” out of public places without slowing people down. As Mike put it, keeping people safe “at the pace of life.” In keeping with our "insight-driven computing" conference theme, Evolv leverages connectivity, processing at the edge, analytics and a variety of sensors to collect and immediately process tons of data. “At one level, I don't want parents to worry about their kids when they drop them off at a concert or ballgame.” We are very excited about Mike's Fireside Chat (and Evolv's live demo) on March 23!

Mike Ellenbogen is the CEO of Evolv Technology which is transforming venue security. As adversaries shift their focus towards event arenas, threats have shifted from petty crimes and rambunctious conduct to something entirely different. Threats can come from anywhere and as recent security events have shown, it is not unique to any one place. After connecting with security executives at some of the largest sports stadiums and event arenas in the U.S., Evolv believes a risk-based approach to security is critical. During today's conversation we discuss: What needs to be done to keep patrons safe – including providing protection beyond the walls of a building The elements that make up an effective physical security plan How by embracing a risk management strategy, venues can focus their most rigorous screening on the 1%, rather than the 99%. How Port Authority police tested the Evolv Edge high-tech body scanner at the World Trade Center PATH station What Gillette Stadium is doing to safely secure its own venue and why a superior visitor experience and security do not need to be mutually exclusive

On this episode, we host Brendan McCord and Chris McLaughlin from Evolv Technologies - a startup that is bringing Artificial Intelligence into airport security. I met Brendan back in October at the AAAE Innovation Forum where I heard him pitch Evolv to the audience. Their approach to improving security at airports is a practical approach that uses AI to supplement human involvement rather than replace it. While there are plenty of companies claiming to use AI in different industries, I was interested in Evolv because they are not a company using “AI” as a buzzword but putting it to use. This conversation is a little bit long, but we get into some great topics and dive deep into what using AI means not just from a safety stand point, but also from a privacy standpoint. We also talk about how to get in front any inherent bias from the AI’s code. Finally, we wrap up our conversation talking about what the future of security looks like, how to protect ourselves against unforeseen threats, and, of course, recommendations for airports looking to build new terminal or renovate old ones for making sure the security area is ready to adapt.
