Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions Cuts Payroll to $630K, Trims $50K in Operating Costs
AITX cut payroll expense from about $760,000 to $630,000 monthly starting March 1, 2026 and trimmed $50,000 in operating costs via improved purchasing and vendor management. The company paused R&D on HERO and RADDOG while moving ROAMEO into production to target operational cash flow positive by May 2026.
1. AITX Engages National PR Firm to Elevate Market Visibility
On January 13, 2026, Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. announced the engagement of a national public relations firm to broaden awareness of its AI-driven security and productivity solutions across mainstream media, financial markets and the investor community. The firm, selected for its track record placing corporate narratives in top business outlets, will execute a data-informed communications plan designed to translate AITX’s recent operational milestones into clear market understanding. Management expects initial outreach to commence within weeks, leveraging the firm’s network to highlight AITX’s Solutions-as-a-Service model, which addresses a nearly $50 billion US security and guarding services industry by delivering 35%–80% cost savings versus traditional manned guarding. The initiative underscores confidence in the Company’s growth trajectory and aims to support the transition into its next phase of market visibility.
2. Disciplined Expense Reductions Position AITX for Operational Cash Flow Positive
On January 12, 2026, AITX detailed a series of operating expense reductions designed to tighten its cost structure ahead of the February 28 fiscal year-end. Over the past nine months, payroll expenses have been cut from a peak of approximately $760,000 per month in 2025 to an expected $630,000 monthly starting March 1, 2026, achieved through workforce realignment tied to completion of select development projects and delays on lower-priority initiatives. Additional monthly savings of $50,000 were realized via improved purchasing practices, lower assembly costs and vendor management. R&D investment in HERO and RADDOG mobile robotics has been paused, while ROAMEO™ development has transitioned into active production and deployment. Management projects these measures will drive operational cash flow positive performance around May 2026, reinforcing responsible financial stewardship as the Company scales its recurring-revenue pipeline of over 35 Fortune 500 prospects.
