Hmmmm.

Their company was at the ISC West 2026 tradeshow.

I’ve stayed quiet for a long time about Robotic Assistance Devices(RAD) and AITX - but their recent press release, “AITX’s RAD Reveals Amazon’s AWS Involvement in SARA Development,” finally made me speak up. Shout out to Sonny Tai, an industry GOAT (who has since moved on), for initially raising the red flag.

As someone who builds AI-driven monitoring systems every day, I find it deeply concerning to see a public company using supplier relationships as shareholder news. AWS is an infrastructure provider, not a co-developer. Presenting it otherwise misleads both investors and the wider industry.

Unfortunately, this isn’t an isolated incident. Public filings show ongoing poor financial performance while the company continues to issue optimistic PR about vendor relationships and minor event appearances. Recently, their LinkedIn event promotions even mirrored The Monitoring Association's official OpsTech branding - creating the impression that AITX/RAD was running the event rather than simply appearing on a short panel.

Then came their “live demo,” which used ChatGPT’s conversational model output (ending with “let me know if you need anything else”) to simulate an intelligent response system.

For those who build real products, that’s a red flag. Whisper - the underlying OpenAI voice model, doesn’t behave that way. It’s the difference between a true integration and a prompt dressed up as a product.

Shareholders who invested early in AITX/RAD have been misled by the CEO, Steven Reinharz. This information - about raises and his remuneration - is ALL PUBLIC, AITX/RAD is publicly traded. Reddit forums only further validate significant shareholder dissatisfaction.

The security industry deserves better. Most of us are building authentic technology and doing it honestly. Hype and misrepresentation might drive clicks in the short term, but they erode trust for everyone. Let’s hold ourselves - and each other - to higher standards.

The issue that I have with AITX/RAD in particular, is the ease in which they are willing to be dishonest.

Thankfully, 99% of our industry are honest. AITX/RAD is not one of those organizations, and I would not go out of my way to publicly share this if I was not prepared to fall on my laurels in defense of our industry.

Full disclosure: We DO NOT compete with AITX/RAD. They have a channel strategy, we have an end user strategy.
