Mainstream News Coverage Coincides with Continued Expansion of Downtown Cleveland Security Initiative
Detroit, Michigan, December 29, 2025 — Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTCID:AITX), a global leader in AI-driven security and productivity solutions, along with its wholly owned subsidiary, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), today announced that RAD’s RIO™ and ROSA™ security platforms were featured on Cleveland television as part of a News 5 Cleveland segment highlighting the continued expansion of the City’s downtown smart security program. The televised coverage reflects growing public visibility for the initiative as Downtown Cleveland broadens deployment following a successful pilot that officials credit with measurable improvements in safety and crime reduction across key areas of the city.
The News 5 Cleveland segment reported that the downtown security initiative has expanded beyond its initial Public Square deployment and now includes installations across multiple high traffic areas, including Playhouse Square and North Coast Harbor. According to Downtown Cleveland leadership, the program has grown to more than thirty RAD AI-driven security devices integrated with the City’s Real Time Crime Center, following results that include a reported year over year reduction in serious crime within the downtown core and increased pedestrian activity. City officials cited both real world impact and improved perception of safety as key factors driving continued expansion of the program.
“This coverage reflects what happens when AI-powered security is deployed with purpose and accountability,” said Troy McCanna, Chief Security Officer and Chief Revenue Officer of RAD. “The value is not just in detection, but in resolving routine issues before human intervention is required. When cities can address safety concerns early and consistently, it improves outcomes on the ground and strengthens public confidence in shared spaces.”
With continued expansion underway and growing public visibility through mainstream media coverage, RAD views the Cleveland deployment as a working example of how municipalities and district organizations can deploy cost-effective security with speed, accountability, and measurable impact. The Company is actively engaging with additional cities, Business Improvement Districts, and Community Improvement Districts that are interested in connecting with RAD to discuss program design and request demonstrations of its security platforms as part of broader downtown and district safety initiatives.
