Exhibit 99.1

AITX's RAD Converts Retail Security Pilot into Long Term Deployment

Customer Retains Systems After Extended Evaluation and Begins Exploring Broader Expansion

Detroit, Michigan, May 27, 2026 -- 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 a major retail property management organization has moved forward with a permanent deployment of two ROSA™ security devices following a successful proof-of-concept evaluation. The systems, initially deployed under a pilot program, are now operating under a recurring monthly revenue agreement as the customer evaluates additional deployment opportunities across its portfolio. The deployment also incorporates RAD's SARA™ (Speaking Autonomous Responsive Agent) agentic AI platform, providing autonomous notifications, escalation workflows, and real-time communication capabilities designed to accelerate awareness and response during after-hours security events.

The pilot deployment, originally expected to run for 30 days, ultimately remained active for nearly three months as the customer worked closely with RAD to refine the deployment around the property's specific operational requirements. The ROSA devices are being utilized for interior after-hours security operations, including identifying unauthorized individuals remaining onsite, issuing automated voice deterrence messages, and notifying monitoring personnel of potential incidents requiring escalation.

Retail property operators continue to face growing pressure from theft, vandalism, trespassing, and rising security labor costs, with U.S. retailers estimated to have lost approximately $45 billion to shoplifting in 2024 alone1. Industry operators are increasingly evaluating AI driven and autonomous security technologies that can help extend coverage, improve incident response, and reduce reliance on traditional guarding models. In this deployment, the customer has reportedly responded particularly well to SARA's autonomous phone call notifications and escalation capabilities, which provide immediate awareness and actionable information when potential incidents occur after hours. RAD believes solutions like ROSA™ and SARA™ are well positioned for these environments, where proactive deterrence, automated engagement, and intelligent escalation can deliver meaningful operational impact while lowering overall security costs.

"Large scale pilot deployments like this frequently evolve into broader operational rollouts once customers experience the technology in a live environment," said Troy McCanna, Chief Revenue and Chief Security Officer at RAD. "These programs tend to start with a specific use case or property challenge, but once the customer sees the operational visibility, responsiveness, and consistency the system delivers, the conversation usually shifts toward expansion. That's especially true when SARA becomes part of the daily workflow and stakeholders begin interacting directly with the AI driven notifications and escalation process."

RAD confirmed that discussions are already underway regarding potential expansion opportunities at additional retail properties within the customer's portfolio. While the customer remains unnamed, the organization is understood to manage a portfolio measured in the hundreds of retail and shopping center properties across North America.

The Company invites prospective clients, channel partners, and industry participants to connect with its team to learn how RAD's solutions can support their security and operational objectives.
