Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc., a global pioneer in AI-driven security and productivity solutions for enterprise clients, along with its wholly owned subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices Group, Inc. (RAD-G) (collectively, the “Companies”), announced the development of a proprietary Vision-Language Model (VLM) purpose-built for security applications.
Unlike off-the-shelf models such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Meta’s Llama1, this VLM has been engineered in-house to deliver precise, real-time generative AI for action and analysis of visual and textual data specifically tuned for security professionals.
The Company sees the need for a security-specific VLM that has greater transparency and control than the mass-market LLMs currently available.
LLMs and VLMs
A VLM is a type of artificial intelligence that can both “see” and “understand”
“Security end users and manufacturers absolutely require LLMs and VLMs where they have greater control and transparency related to generative AI’s operations,” said Steve Reinharz, CEO/CTO and founder of AITX and RAD-G.
“After nearly a year of building the fundamental technology, we are ready to announce this effort with a prospective launch date before the end of this calendar year.”
A VLM is a type of artificial intelligence that can both “see” and “understand.” It processes images and video along with written and spoken language at the same time. In simple terms, it is the technology that lets the Company’s devices watch what is happening, interpret it in context, and then respond in methods people can easily understand.
Integration and licensing
Designed for integration and licensing, this solution provides organisations with a streamlined, high-performance tool to enhance situational awareness and drive progress across the security sector.
This breakthrough follows the Company’s success with SARA, RAD-G’s widely acclaimed agentic AI-powered video monitoring and action solution, and further extends the reach of AITX’s advanced security technologies.
The Companies expect to deliver this solution to the industry at prices comparable to the current pricing structure of the major LLM service providers. As development has been underway for some time, this project will be launched without adding costs to existing SG&A.
Evolving security needs
The Companies can offer flexible licensing arrangements to security providers
Because AITX and RAD-G have developed and own this VLM outright, the Companies can offer flexible licensing arrangements to security providers, integrators, and enterprise clients.
This level of control ensures rapid adaptation to evolving security needs, streamlined integration with a variety of platforms, and the ability for partners to tailor the technology to their specific environments.
By making the VLM available for licensing, the Company is enabling a new standard of intelligence, agility, and responsiveness in the security industry.
Security operations
AITX remains focused on providing advanced solutions that create tangible results for clients
Organisations interested in bringing the RAD-G VLM to their security operations or exploring licensing opportunities are encouraged to contact the Company for more information.
As the security industry continues to move forward, AITX remains focused on providing advanced solutions that create tangible results for clients, partners, and the sector as a whole.
AITX, through its primary subsidiary, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), is redefining the nearly $50 billion (US) security and guarding services industry2 through its broad lineup of innovative, AI-driven Solutions-as-a-Service business model.
RAD solutions
All RAD technologies, AI-based analytics, and software platforms are developed in-house
RAD solutions are specifically designed to provide cost savings to businesses of between 35%-80% when compared to the industry’s existing and costly manned security guarding and monitoring model.
RAD delivers these tremendous cost savings via a suite of stationary and mobile robotic solutions that complement, and at times, directly replace the need for human personnel in environments better suited for machines.
All RAD technologies, AI-based analytics, and software platforms are developed in-house.
SOC 2 Type 2 audit
The Company’s operations and internal controls have been validated through the successful completion of its SOC 2 Type 2 audit, reinforcing the Company’s credibility with enterprise and government clients who require strict data protection and security compliance.
RAD has a prospective sales pipeline of over 35 Fortune 500 companies and numerous other client opportunities. RAD expects to continue to attract new business as it converts its existing sales opportunities into deployed clients, generating a recurring revenue stream. Each Fortune 500 client has the potential to make numerous reorders over time.
