AITX and RAD CEO Selected as Speaker at UBC Security Forum
As Security Enters Its Next Phase, Reinharz Brings a Practical View of AI Driven Transformation
Detroit, Michigan, May 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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 its CEO/CTO and founder, Steve Reinharz, has been invited to present at the 2026 UBC Security Forum, taking place May 13, 2026 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Reinharz will deliver a featured session titled “The Security Industry Is Entering Its Next Phase,” focused on how Agentic AI is actively reshaping security operations from detection through resolution.
The invitation reflects a growing recognition of Reinharz’ perspective on the evolving role of AI within the security industry, as organizations begin to move beyond traditional monitoring models toward more automated, intelligence driven operations. Recent speaking engagements include participation on a panel at The Security Event in the UK, multiple appearances with the Security Industry Association at ISC West, and ongoing involvement with ASIS at GSX. Events such as the UBC Security Forum, which brings together public sector leaders, enterprise security professionals, and technology innovators, are increasingly spotlighting voices that can translate emerging capabilities into practical, real-world application. Reinharz’ participation marks another step in the Company’s expanding presence within these industry conversations.
“This is an important moment for the industry, especially for the next generation of security professionals who are coming in with a different level of comfort around technology and automation,” commented Reinharz. “We are seeing a clear shift away from workflows that rely on people to move information between systems, toward environments where intelligent software is executing those workflows in real time. It is not about replacing the human element, it is about elevating it. What stands out is how quickly emerging leaders in this space recognize that shift and begin to operate differently.”
“UBC Community Safety is excited to welcome security leaders such as Steve to the event,” said Sam Stephens, MSc CPP, Director, Community Safety, The University of British Columbia. The inclusion of Steve in this day truly represents the influence emerging technologies will have on the industry, and UBC Community Safety is excited to welcome this topic to the sold-out event.”
At the center of this shift is RAD’s Speaking Autonomous Responsive Agent (SARA™), the Company’s Agentic AI platform designed to move beyond alerting and into full workflow execution. SARA integrates with existing security infrastructure to autonomously verify events, initiate responses, and escalate when necessary, reducing reliance on manual intervention while maintaining human oversight. The platform reflects the Company’s focus on delivering practical, real-world solutions that improve efficiency without disrupting established operations.
The Company intends to make a professionally produced video recording of Reinharz’ presentation publicly available following the event, extending access to the session for clients, partners, and industry participants who are unable to attend in person. The recorded presentation is expected to provide a clear, practical view of how Agentic AI is being applied today to streamline security workflows and improve operational outcomes.
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.
