Canada's busiest airport will soon start to use artificial intelligence-
powered technology to detect weapons.
The technology can detect both metallic and non-metallic weapons ranging from guns and knives to explosives, according to Liberty Defense Holdings Ltd., a Vancouver-based company which first marketed the technology. Known as Hex wave, the technology works by capturing radar images, then using artificial intelligence to analyze them for concealed weapons in bags or under clothing.
Liberty's CEO, Bill Riker explained, "radar essentially is emitting this form of energy, it's reflecting off a person and it's identifying any items on a person's body that don't belong on a body."
The technology will start getting deployed at Pearson in the Spring of 2020 in a bid to boost security, according to the Greater Toronto Airports Authority, which runs Pearson.
