Detroit, Michigan--(Newsfile Corp. - August 7, 2025) - Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (OTCID: AITX) (the Company), today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD) has launched Bailey's Promise, a nationwide initiative offering up to 10 of RAD's real-time firearm detection AI software license to every K-12 school in the United States at zero cost. While the firearm detection software license is provided free of charge, a one-time $499 onboarding fee and a $99 monthly service cost help ensure each school's system is properly configured, fully supported, and always ready to respond. These fees cover up to 10 existing IP cameras. Schools or districts wishing to expand coverage beyond 10 cameras may do so at a discounted rate of 50% off the standard per-camera license fee, making additional integrations affordable and scalable for larger facilities or multi-building campuses. This software-only solution enables schools to upgrade their existing surveillance camera systems into intelligent firearm detection systems, delivering rapid alerts and initiating emergency protocols when a visible weapon is detected.

Bailey's Promise builds upon the foundation of RAD's earlier campaign, Bailey's Gift, which donated firearm detection hardware to a limited number of schools. With this new initiative, RAD removes the barriers of high cost, allowing any school with compatible camera infrastructure to access and deploy the technology quickly. Many schools already have surveillance cameras in place but lack the ability to detect firearm threats in real time given the difficulty to persistently staff and watch surveillance cameras. Bailey's Promise bridges that gap with a powerful, easy-to-activate upgrade that brings immediate protective value.
The initiative is named in honor of Bailey Holt, a kind and vibrant 15-year-old who was killed during a school shooting in 2018. Since then, her mother, Secret Holt, has been a passionate advocate for RAD's mission and has played an active role in both the Bailey's Gift and Bailey's Promise campaigns. "The fact that RAD is now offering this technology to every school means everything to me," said Secret Holt. "No school should hesitate. If this software can help prevent even one tragedy, it's worth it. Time is a thief, and it doesn't discriminate. The next victim could be anyone's child. I truly hope every school in the country takes this opportunity to protect their students."
"We hear it every time, thoughts, prayers, statements of concern, promises to do better," said Steve Reinharz, CEO/CTO and founder of AITX and RAD. "But now the technology exists to actually do better, and we are removing every excuse not to act. Bailey's Promise gives every school the power to detect firearms before a tragedy unfolds. It costs nothing. It requires no new hardware. What more do we need? If we truly care about protecting our kids, the time to act is right now."
Schools, districts, law enforcement agencies, and members of the media can learn more about Bailey's Promise and request access to the program by visiting www.radsecurity.com/baileys-promise. Enrollment is open now, and RAD encourages all school leaders to explore how this free solution can be deployed quickly to help safeguard their students and staff.
Typically, activating Bailey's Promise is fast and straightforward. No new equipment is needed, and no technical overhaul is required. Schools simply enroll in the program and apply the software to their existing camera systems. Once operational, the AI continuously monitors for visible firearms and can trigger immediate alerts, helping schools respond in real time before a situation escalates.
The software works with most modern IP-based security cameras and requires no special hardware or reconfiguration. It runs alongside a school's existing security systems, adding powerful firearm detection capabilities without disrupting current operations. The process is simple, the impact is immediate, and the system is designed to integrate smoothly into what schools already have in place.
Each school that enrolls in Bailey's Promise receives a free license covering up to 10 camera connections. Additional camera integrations beyond the initial 10 can be added at a discounted rate of 50% off the standard per-camera license fee, ensuring broader coverage remains accessible and affordable.
With an estimated 115,000-130,000 schools serving K-12 students across the country1, the reach of Bailey's Promise is both immediate and scalable. Most schools operate with dozens to a few hundred legacy IP cameras. RAD's Bailey's Promise supports the first ten camera connections at no cost and scales affordably to cover existing infrastructure.
"We estimate the number of installed school security cameras across the U.S. exceeds 3 million," concluded Reinharz. "These systems are watching, but they're not protecting. Bailey's Promise is about turning that existing infrastructure into real-time defense. If a school already has cameras, there's no reason not to add this layer of life-saving intelligence."
The system identifies visible firearms in fractions of a second and autonomously executes predetermined response protocols. These may include activating visual and audible alerts, initiating mobile notifications, emergency escalations, and integrations with lockdown or mass notification systems. This level of real-time detection and engagement can provide schools with critical seconds to act, potentially saving lives and minimizing harm.
"As a security professional who has spent decades helping organizations protect lives and manage risk, I can say without hesitation that Bailey's Promise is a breakthrough," said Jeff Slotnick, CPP, PSP. "It removes the financial and logistical barriers that have slowed adoption of proactive firearm detection in schools. RAD's approach is practical, proven, and immediately deployable. School leaders, law enforcement, and policymakers now have a responsibility to act. The tools exist. The threat is real. There are no more acceptable delays."
RAD has submitted its firearm detection software for designation under the Support Anti-Terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies (SAFETY) Act through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Once approved, this designation would formally recognize the solution as a Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technology, extending important liability protections to both RAD and the schools that deploy the technology.
