In the "Top 20 Things You Probably Didn't Know About AITX and RAD" video, CEO, CTO and founder Steve Reinharz highlighted themes that define the Company's trajectory entering fiscal 2027, including ownership of the AI autonomy stack, the economics of replacing guard labor with licensed autonomy, the importance of recurring monthly revenue, and RAD's Detection to Resolution architecture. Reinharz emphasized that long term competitive advantage in physical security will belong to those who control the intelligence layer that connects detection, verification, deterrence, escalation, response, and resolution.

The full "Top 20 Things You Probably Didn't Know About AITX and RAD" video may be viewed at www.aitx.ai/top-20-things-you-probably-didnt-know/.

"Physical security is entering a period where AI autonomy will determine who leads and who follows," said Reinharz. "For years we focused on building and controlling the autonomy stack from detection through resolution. That required patience, engineering discipline, and conviction during quieter periods. Today that foundation allows us to scale licensed autonomy across devices, partners, and enterprise environments in a way that is difficult to replicate."

The following highlights summarize the twenty points Reinharz discussed in the video:

20. More Than 10 Million Hours in the Field
RAD autonomous security systems have logged over 10 million operating hours across real world deployments.

19. Millions Of Security Alerts Generated
RAD deployments have generated millions of alerts across client environments, each prompting responses designed to protect property and people.

18. SARA Is Already Escalating Incidents Autonomously
The Company's SARA™ agentic AI platform has completed roughly 10,000 outbound AI driven calls, demonstrating real world autonomous escalation.

17. A Large Proprietary AI Training Library
RAD's analytics training library contains approximately 200,000 annotated images supporting detection of threats, behaviors, and security events.

16. Every Device Is a Purpose-Built Edge AI Computer
A single ROSA™ 4.0 unit contains over one hundred individual components designed to support autonomous security operations at the edge.

15. ROAMEO Has Logged Thousands of Autonomous Patrol Hours
The Company's ROAMEO™ autonomous security robot has accumulated more than 7,000 operational hours in real environments.

14. Robotics Requires Continuous Iteration
More than 35 mobility prototypes were built on the path to developing ROAMEO Gen 4.

13. Autonomous Navigation Is a Complex Engineering Challenge
Developing reliable autonomous mobility required solving thousands of hardware, software, and AI decision making challenges.

12. A Massive Global Market Opportunity
The global security services market exceeds $100 billion annually, creating a significant opportunity for AI driven transformation.

11. A Growing Global Dealer Network
RAD now works with more than 100 security dealers worldwide while continuing to generate strong direct enterprise sales.

10. Early Clients Continue to Expand Deployments
One of RAD's earliest clients, dating back to 2018, now operates more than 50 devices across three countries.

9. Deep Investment in Research and Development
More than half of all capital invested into the Company to date has been directed toward research and development.

8. SARA Was Built Before Agentic AI Became a Trend
The Company introduced SARA in 2023, before the industry widely adopted the concept of agentic AI.

7. The Company Started in a Garage
The earliest prototypes of what would eventually become ROAMEO were developed in Reinharz's garage.

6. Founder Commitment During the Early Years
Reinharz spent five years building the Company without taking a salary to advance the long-term vision.

5. Early Survival Was Not Guaranteed
In 2018 and 2019 the Company experienced moments when its continued operation depended on securing near term funding.

4. A Critical Debt Restructuring Provided Runway
A restructuring agreement completed at the end of 2019 helped stabilize the Company and extend its operational runway.

3. A Vision More Than a Decade in the Making
Reinharz has spent over ten years pursuing the long-term vision behind AITX and RAD.

2. One Chapter Gets the Censor Beep
In the video, Reinharz gets briefly censored by the compliance lawyers.

1. RAD Is Building Autonomous Infrastructure
While some observers focus on robots, the Company's strategy centers on licensed autonomy and AI driven infrastructure powering security operations..

The Company's model centers on licensed autonomy rather than one time hardware transactions. While devices establish a physical presence in the field, the intelligence layer is licensed on a recurring basis, expanding monthly recurring revenue (RMR) with each deployment. As installations grow across enterprise clients and channel partners, the recurring revenue base expands and operational leverage improves. The Company believes it is approaching operational cash flow positivity, a milestone that would signal the transition from years of building to a phase of scaled execution.

Reinharz added, "The roadmap ahead is straightforward. Achieving operational cash flow positivity is a key focus for us in the near-term. Progressing to OTCQB is part of the journey, and Nasdaq remains a long-term objective tied to performance and scale. We believe licensed AI autonomy represents a major opportunity, and we are building the company to compete for leadership in that category."

RAD invites security professionals and current and future channel partners to experience all RAD solutions in action at ISC West 2026. Attendees will have the opportunity to see live demonstrations, speak directly with RAD leadership and product experts, and learn how autonomous security deployments are being proven, expanded, and scaled across real world environments. Meetings may be scheduled in advance or coordinated onsite throughout the event.
