Detroit, Michigan--(Newsfile Corp. - April 7, 2026) - Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (OTCID: AITXD), a global leader in AI-driven security and productivity solutions, along with its wholly owned subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), today announced a price increase of approximately 14% across its hardware solution lineup, effective May 1, 2026. The increase reflects sustained pressure from component, logistics, and compliance-related costs that the Company deliberately absorbed for nearly three years in support of its partners and customers. All orders placed by April 30, 2026, will be honored at current pricing.

The adjustment brings RAD's pricing in line with the cost environment the Company has been actively managing, including sustained increases in components, logistics, and compliance. Rather than pass these pressures along, RAD chose to absorb them for nearly three years while continuing to invest in product development, manufacturing, and software capabilities. This decision supported customer adoption and long-term partner success, while positioning the Company to advance its technology roadmap from a place of strength.

RAD also announced a structural shift in its hardware offering, with SARA™ (Speaking Autonomous Responsive Agent) now included as a standard capability across all devices moving forward. What was previously an add-on is now embedded, transforming every RAD unit from a detection endpoint into an active participant in the security operation. With SARA integrated, each device is capable of AI-driven monitoring, real-time decision making, autonomous engagement, and escalation without reliance on constant human intervention. This change materially redefines what customers receive with every deployment, establishing a new baseline for performance, consistency, and operational impact across the industry.

"We're quite proud of how we've protected customer pricing as long as we have," said Steve Reinharz, CEO/CTO and founder, AITX and RAD. "For nearly three years we absorbed costs that most companies would have passed along without a second thought. We are proud of that, and we are grateful for the partners and customers who have built their security programs around our solutions. This adjustment was necessary, but what comes next is what matters. The roadmap we are executing, the technology we are deploying, and the results our clients see in the real world give us every reason to be optimistic. We are not raising prices and standing still. We are raising prices and accelerating."

The price increase applies to new orders only with all existing contract pricing grandfathered in until further notice. The Company expects the effects of this price increase could start to affect gross profit margins starting in Q3 of its current fiscal year 2027, ending November 30, 2026.

For any partner or customer with active conversations, open evaluations, or planned deployments, the window to act at current pricing closes April 30, 2026. Orders confirmed by that date will be honored in full at today's rates.

The Company invites prospective clients, channel partners, and industry participants to connect with its team before April 30, 2026 to explore current pricing opportunities and learn how RAD's solutions can support their security and operational objectives going forward.
