Exhibit 99.1
AITX’s Subsidiary, Robotic Assistance Devices, Prepares RADDOG™ 2LE’s Launch as Its Introduction on FOX Entertainment’s ‘Stars on Mars’ Approaches
Detroit, Michigan, June 5, 2023 — Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc., (the “Company”) (OTCPK:AITX), a global leader in AI-driven security and productivity solutions, along with its wholly owned subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD) have announced that complete details, features and specification of RADDOG 2LE will be announced the day after the quadruped robot premieres on the all-new TV series “Stars on Mars,” which will debut on FOX on Monday, June 5 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT).
RAD’s RADDOG 2LE will be formally introduced on Tuesday June 6th, with demonstrations available for law enforcement agencies. The RADDOG quadruped robots used in the show are similar to RADDOG 2LE units, which are specially designed for law enforcement. The “Stars on Mars” RADDOGs perform the duties of the mission’s security robots, as well as being companions to the crew members.
“Once we saw RADDOG, we wanted it as member of the crew,” said Charles Wachter, Stars on Mars executive producer and showrunner. “Lost in Space had their robot, Star Wars had their R2D2, and similarly, RADDOG was a big part of our cast. It performed both a functional role in the series—as sentry security for the crew, with remote viewing, and also as a companion. It has a ton of personality, but even more capabilities.”
“We are so excited to see the missions and antics of RADDOG on Stars on Mars,” said Steve Reinharz, CEO of AITX and RAD. “RADDOG is the first robotic dog to participate in this type of television programming. Millions of households will get an up-close glimpse of what RADDOG can do.”
“Stars on Mars” is an out-of-this-world new unscripted series, premiering on FOX, where 12 fearless celebrities will colonize, compete and conquer “Mars” until there is one victorious space invader, who will claim the title of “the brightest star in the galaxy.” The stars and RADDOG will receive interstellar assignments from legendary actor and Star Trek icon William Shatner, who serves as Mission Control.
RADDOG 2LE is scheduled to begin shipping in August. Complete specifics of its capabilities, features and other details including pricing and options will be made available on June 6th at www.radsecurity.com and www.raddog.ai.
Reinharz further added that the Company sent a total of 5 RADDOGs along with a Canadian-based robotics technician to support the production crew in Coober Pedy, Australia. Reports from the outback have been extremely positive, with RADDOG participating in many amazing missions and challenges. “We sincerely thank Eureka Productions and FOX for this incredible opportunity to help launch RADDOG,” Reinharz concluded.
As previously indicated by the Company, no placement, publicity or other fees have been paid to the production company, studio, network, or cast for RADDOG’s “Stars on Mars” appearance. The production company reached out to Eclipse Worldwide, RAD’s marketing agency months earlier of their interest in having RADDOG participate in the show.

(RAD), is redefining the $25 billion (US) security and guarding services industry through its broad lineup of innovative, AI-driven Solutions-as-a-Service business model.
