Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, a global company in AI-driven security and productivity solutions for enterprise clients, along with its wholly owned subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices Group Inc. (RAD-G), developed a proprietary vision-language model (VLM) purpose-built for security applications. This VLM has been engineered in-house to deliver precise, real-time generative AI for action and analysis of visual and textual data specifically tuned for security professionals. The company sees the need for a security-specific VLM that has greater transparency and control than the mass-market LLMs currently available. 

“Security end users and manufacturers absolutely require LLMs and VLMs where they have greater control and transparency related to generative AI’s operations,” said Steve Reinharz, CEO, chief technology officer, and founder of AITX and RAD-G. “After nearly a year of building the fundamental technology, we are ready to announce this effort with a prospective launch date before the end of this calendar year.”

A VLM is a type of artificial intelligence that can both “see” and “understand.” It processes images and video along with written and spoken language at the same time. In simple terms, it is the technology that lets the company’s devices watch what is happening, interpret it in context, and then respond in methods people can easily understand.

Designed for integration and licensing, this solution provides organizations with a streamlined, high-performance tool to enhance situational awareness and drive progress across the security sector.

The companies expect to deliver this solution to the industry at prices comparable to the current pricing structure of the major LLM service providers. As development has been underway for some time, this project will be launched without adding costs to existing SG&A. Because AITX and RAD-G have developed and own this VLM outright, the companies can offer flexible licensing arrangements to security providers, integrators, and enterprise clients.
