Nov 26 (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Trade Commission
said on Tuesday it would take action against Evolv Technologies
 EVLV.O  over allegations the company deceived users about its
artificial intelligence security screening systems' ability to
detect weapons in school settings.
    A proposed settlement with Evolv would bar the company from
making unsupported claims about its products and give certain
K-12 school customers the option to cancel their contracts, the
FTC said in a statement.
