Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions (OTC: AITX) flags going-concern risk
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions Inc. (AITX) filed a current report highlighting a press release about an upcoming Ask Me Anything (AMA) session focused on PURSUON, Inc., its wholly owned autonomous mobile security subsidiary (formerly RAD-M). CEO/CTO and founder Steve Reinharz will host a 30–60 minute AMA on the AITX YouTube channel on September 2, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. ET to discuss PURSUON’s strategy, relationship to sister subsidiary RAD, and the ROAMEO autonomous security vehicle.
The disclosure reiterates that AITX targets the nearly $50 billion U.S. security and guarding services industry via an AI-driven Solutions-as-a-Service model, aiming to deliver security cost savings of 35%–80% versus traditional manned guarding. It notes that all AI analytics and software are developed in-house and that operations and internal controls have completed a SOC 2 Type 2 audit, supporting credibility with enterprise and government clients. The forward-looking statement section emphasizes substantial doubt about AITX’s ability to continue as a going concern, recurring net losses, negative working capital, reliance on external financing, execution risk in ramping ROAMEO production, dependence on Steven Reinharz, substantial ongoing dilution from variable-price financing and debt conversions, and limited liquidity and volatility of its OTC Pink “penny stock.”
Positive
- AITX targets a large addressable market, describing the U.S. security and guarding services industry as nearly $50 billion, providing significant potential demand for its AI-driven offerings.
- Solutions may materially reduce customer security costs, with RAD offerings described as designed to provide 35%–80% savings compared to traditional manned security and monitoring.
- Operational controls have third-party validation via successful completion of a SOC 2 Type 2 audit, supporting trust from enterprise and government clients that require rigorous data protection and compliance.
Negative
- Substantial doubt about ability to continue as a going concern is explicitly cited, alongside recurring net losses and negative working capital that require continued external financing.
- Significant dilution risk is highlighted from variable-price financing arrangements and debt conversions, which the company states is substantial and continuing.
- Execution and concentration risks are disclosed, including execution risk in the ROAMEO production ramp with a limited number of units deployed, customer concentration, and dependence on Steven Reinharz.
- Shares trade as a volatile penny stock on the OTC Pink marketplace, with the company noting limited liquidity and that the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act safe harbor for forward-looking statements does not apply.

AITX Invites Viewers Inside the PURSUON Strategy in Upcoming AMA
Reinharz to Address the Strategy, Market Opportunity and Growth Potential Behind
AITX's New Autonomous Mobile Security Subsidiary
Detroit, Michigan, August 26, 2026 - Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") (OTCID:AITX), a developer and operator of AI-driven security and productivity solutions for enterprise clients, today announced that CEO, CTO and founder Steve Reinharz will host a 30-60 minute Ask Me Anything (AMA) focused on PURSUON, Inc. (formerly RAD-M), the Company's wholly owned autonomous mobile security subsidiary. The live event is scheduled to premiere on the AITX YouTube channel Wednesday, September 2, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. ET.
Artist’s depiction of AITX CEO, CTO and founder Steve Reinharz ahead of the upcoming PURSUON AMA.
The AMA will give channel partners, clients, prospects, and shareholders an opportunity to hear directly from Reinharz about why PURSUON was created, how it strengthens the Company's focus on autonomous mobile security and where it may take AITX next. The discussion is expected to address PURSUON's relationship with sister subsidiary RAD, ROAMEO, PURSUON's flagship autonomous security vehicle, and the Company's longer-term vision for intelligent mobile machines.
"PURSUON is far more than a new name," said Reinharz. "It represents a sharper focus on what we are building, why the market needs it and how large this opportunity could become. This AMA gives me the chance to speak directly and candidly about what PURSUON means for AITX, RAD, our channel partners, our clients and everyone watching our progress. I expect thoughtful questions, and I intend to provide substantive answers."
Anticipated questions may include:
- Why was PURSUON created instead of continuing under the RAD-M identity?
- What changes beyond the name?
- How will PURSUON work with RAD and its channel partners?
- What is required to increase production of ROAMEO?
- What milestones should shareholders and customers watch over the next 12 months?
- And does PURSUON intend to develop autonomous mobile machines beyond ROAMEO?
Questions may be submitted in advance at www.aitx.ai/ama. Questions must be submitted by Monday, August 31, 2026, at 8:00 p.m. ET. The 30-60 minute AMA will premiere on the AITX YouTube channel on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. ET.
