The Panelists
Steve Reinharz
Founder and CEO of Robotic Assistance Devices, Chair, SIA Drones and Robotics Interest Group
Steve Reinharz is the CEO of Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc., (OTCPK:AITX) and Founder and CEO of the company’s three wholly-owned subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices (RAD), RAD-M, developing mobile security solutions, and RAG-G, specializing in software, firmware and engineering solutions for robotics. Reinharz is a seasoned leader in the physical security industry with over 25 years of experience holding various roles across multiple disciplines. Reinharz has led RAD to create and launch a successful line of artificial intelligence-powered solutions specifically developed for the guarding and facility management industries. As of June 2022, the company has over 225 units installed globally, and these devices have logged over 2.5 million paid operating hours in the field.
Mr. Reinharz’ experience is multi-faceted in that he started and managed his own security integration company at the age of 24, becoming one of California’s premier systems integrator. Subsequently, he was an integral member of the team that successfully sold an integrator to a global security firm for $42 million and has since held various other security industry roles. Steve regularly speaks and contributes to panels at ISC East and West, other SIA events, GSX, plus ASIS. Reinharz was recently named as Chair of SIA’s ‘AI, Drones and Robotics Interest Group’.
Mr. Reinharz credits almost two years of work performed with the LAPD, work with the California State Prison System, plus the fundamentals of the book on AI he wrote when he was 19 years old as the basis for many of the technological innovations he has launched. Mr. Reinharz’ professional interests include the application of AI in the 4th Industrial Revolution, the new economy, NFTs and finance.
Under Reinharz’ leadership and vision, RAD has become the leader in the delivery of artificial intelligence-based security and facility robots. Some believe that he literally wrote the book on it, the ARS (Autonomous Remote Services) Manifesto with over 5,000 unique downloads. By applying the concepts that he introduces in his ARS Manifesto, RAD clients have been able to augment the duties and functions of existing guarding staff and gain higher levels of situational awareness, all at drastically reduced costs. RAD’s robotic solutions are quickly moving into a variety of industries such as government, transportation, critical infrastructure, education, and healthcare.
