RAD Joins ZeroNow as a Partner in Making Schools Safer

Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), a subsidiary of Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions Inc., is pleased to announce that ZeroNow has welcomed RAD as an Industry Partner in its quest to bring the number of victims of school violence to zero.

RAD delivers cost-effective artificial intelligence-based security solutions that can help schools improve safety and efficiency. RAD technology augments the capabilities of staff to provide higher levels of situational awareness at a low cost, allowing experienced personnel to focus on more strategic tasks.

“As an Industry Partner, RAD brings an expertise in autonomous monitoring and response that will benefit our alliance,” said ZeroNow CEO and Co-Founder Ara Bagdasarian. “ZeroNow’s law enforcement, school security and education members are contributing their expertise to spotlight the risks schools face. Our technology partners share valuable knowledge on how to address those vulnerabilities.”

“School should be a safe and secure place to grow and learn, and children can’t learn when they’re afraid,” said Steve Reinharz, Founder, CEO & CTO of AITX and RAD. “RAD is dedicated to pioneering advancements in AI and autonomous robotics, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in safety solutions. By partnering with ZeroNow, we are furthering our mission to ensure that every school becomes a sanctuary of learning and growth, free from fear. Together, we are dedicated to building a safer future for all children, where the promise of education can be fulfilled without the shadow of violence.”

RAD continues to demonstrate its unwavering commitment to school safety through innovative initiatives like the Bailey’s Gift campaign, launched in 2022. This effort, named in memory of Bailey Holt, who tragically lost her life in a school shooting, aims to donate advanced firearm detection devices to underfunded and vulnerable K-12 schools across the United States. By joining forces with ZeroNow, RAD seeks to further expand these efforts, ensuring that every school can benefit from state-of-the-art security technology. Through Bailey’s Gift and their new partnership with ZeroNow, RAD is dedicated to creating a safer, more secure learning environment for all students.

ZeroNow was founded by technology partners Additional, Axis Communications, Axon, Omnilert and Status Solutions, along with campus safety nonprofit partners the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators (IACLEA), NASPA (the Association of Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education), Campus Safety Magazine and VTV Family Outreach Foundation.
