Detroit, Michigan--(Newsfile Corp. - April 30, 2026) - Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (OTCID: AITX) (the "Company"), a global leader in AI-driven security and productivity solutions, along with its wholly owned subsidiary, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), today announced that it has received an order for a RIO 360™ autonomous security tower from a major hotel brand for a property, with deployment pending. The initial unit is expected to address ongoing security concerns in exterior areas, particularly parking facilities, with discussions already underway to expand coverage at the location and introduce RAD's solutions to additional properties within the brand's portfolio.

Hotels and hospitality properties face a unique set of security challenges, particularly in exterior areas such as parking lots, entrances, and common access points. These environments are often open and accessible, making them susceptible to loitering, non-guest activity, and unwanted behavior that can escalate over time. Operators must balance the need for effective deterrence with maintaining a welcoming environment for guests, all while managing rising labor costs associated with traditional guarding. As these pressures increase, many hospitality providers are turning to visible, intelligent security solutions that can deliver consistent monitoring and real time response without the ongoing expense and variability of human personnel.

"This is a meaningful first step for RAD into the hospitality space," said Troy McCanna, Chief Revenue and Chief Security Officer at RAD. "These properties are dealing with real, persistent exterior security issues, and they are looking for solutions that are effective, fast to deploy, and financially practical. What we are seeing already is that once a location engages, the conversation quickly expands to additional coverage and even additional properties, including urban, airport, and resort properties represent environments where exterior areas such as parking facilities and access points require consistent monitoring and visible deterrence, aligning closely with RAD's autonomous security solutions."

Steve Reinharz, CEO/CTO and founder of AITX and RAD, added, "When you look at the entire market of larger hotel properties across North America, the opportunity becomes clear. These environments face consistent challenges that align directly with our solutions."

The opportunity originated from a web-based inquiry, with the property seeking a more effective approach to ongoing issues such as loitering and unwanted activity in its parking areas. Traditional guarding was evaluated but ultimately deemed too costly relative to the need, leading the client to select RIO 360 as a cost-effective alternative that could be deployed quickly without requiring on-site power infrastructure. While the initial order is for a single unit, the client is actively considering expanding to multiple units at the property and has already introduced RAD to other affiliated locations experiencing similar challenges.

The Company invites prospective clients, channel partners, and industry participants to connect with its team to learn how RAD's solutions can support their security and operational objectives.
