AI Technology Stocks Watchlist (AITX, AI, KSCP, MARK)

The global artificial intelligence (AI) market is on a meteoric rise, propelled by rapid technological advances and rising demand across industries. Valued at USD 454.12 billion in 2022, the market is projected to reach around USD 2,575.16 billion by 2032, with a CAGR of 19% from 2023 to 2032. The North American AI market alone will account for USD 167.30 billion in 2022.

Digital technology's widespread integration, coupled with substantial investments by tech giants in research and development, continues to propel AI's growth. Industries like automotive, healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and more are harnessing AI's transformative potential. Life-saving medical devices and autonomous features in electric vehicles are contributing to this expansion.

The globe's increasing emphasis on digitalization underscores AI's relevance in shaping the future. As innovation remains a cornerstone across sectors, the AI landscape is poised for exponential growth, paving the way for dynamic investment opportunities.

Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (OTC: AITX), a pioneering force in AI-driven solutions, is orchestrating transformative shifts across diverse industries with its innovative technologies. Collaborating closely with its subsidiary, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), AITX is leading a seismic revolution in the market through its cutting-edge AI-based offerings.

AITX's core competency lies in introducing cutting-edge robotic technologies like RAD, RAD-M, and RAD-G, providing diverse sectors with the tools to drive success. This pivot in operational strategies empowers businesses to surmount intricate challenges, extract valuable insights, and foster innovative business approaches.

At the crux of AITX's technological supremacy are its groundbreaking products: the RIO 360 solar-powered security towers and ROSA solutions. These innovations optimize operations, amplify ROI, and bolster business security.

A cornerstone of AITX's strategy revolves around optimizing patrolling and guard services, enabling skilled professionals to concentrate on specialized tasks. Harnessing AI's capabilities, AITX augments the skills of existing staff, heightening situational awareness while significantly reducing operational costs. This strategy resonates across diverse sectors, including enterprises, government entities, transportation, critical infrastructure, education, and healthcare.

In a recent development on Wednesday, August 23, 2023, AITX and RAD announced a significant milestone. Scotland Memorial Hospital, a vital component of the Scotland Health Care System located in Laurinburg, NC, has embraced RAD Light My Way, an innovative solution designed to enhance staff safety. The deployment, initiated in late 2022, involved the installation of ROSA security robots across the hospital's parking lots.

Scotland Health Care System, renowned as the region's largest private employer, employs over 1,000 full-time and part-time associates, operates across numerous locations, and boasts a team of more than 100 physicians and advanced clinical practitioners.

According to David Pope, Chief Operating Officer at Scotland Memorial Hospital, "RAD Light My Way has significantly improved safety and security at the facility. Our staff feels safer now that they're protected by RAD Light My Way. There have been no serious incidents since the installation of the system."

Due to pre-existing non-disclosure agreements, one of RAD's major national authorized dealers chose to remain anonymous during the deployment. The deployment comprises nine ROSA units, including four dual-unit ROSA-P devices and one standard ROSA. Notably, ROSA-P optimizes its power source by utilizing existing light poles, whether they are centrally controlled or not.

Steve Reinharz, CEO of AITX and RAD, had previously showcased RAD Light My Way to the hospital's nursing staff, resulting in a successful proof-of-concept trial. The preference for RAD Light My Way's installation across the property instead of adding more security guards underscores the solution's effectiveness.

Recent FBI data show that parking lots are now the third most frequent site for assaults, kidnappings, and homicides. According to a survey by the International Association for Healthcare Security and Safety Group, parking lots and nearby areas were the scene of nearly 70% of armed robberies and 56% of rape incidents involving healthcare workers.

RAD Light My Way offers facility managers a more efficient way to address nighttime security and safety concerns for staff and properties. The solution's deployment at Scotland Memorial Hospital underscores its potential to create safer environments.

AITX, through its subsidiary RAD, is reshaping the $25 billion security and guarding services industry with its innovative AI-driven Solutions-as-a-Service model. This approach substantially reduces costs by 35% to 80% when compared to traditional manned security models. RAD's range of stationary and mobile robotic solutions seamlessly complements human efforts, resulting in unmatched efficiency and cost-effectiveness for security operations.

Looking ahead, RAD's sales pipeline boasts several Fortune 500 giants and a plethora of client opportunities. This positions RAD to convert these prospects into long-term, deployed clients, establishing a recurring revenue stream. The potential for repeat orders from Fortune 500 clients further solidifies the company's long-term viability.

In conclusion, AITX's AI solutions, coupled with its innovative products and robust growth prospects, make it a compelling investment opportunity. As AITX pioneers the integration of AI and security, investors are presented with an opportunity to embark on a transformative journey, uniting advanced technology with astute business acumen. The recent development at Scotland Memorial Hospital further underscores the company's commitment to creating tangible solutions that contribute to safety and security.

Remark Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: MARK), a versatile global technology company specializing in artificial intelligence (AI) solutions and digital video analytics, has reported its financial results for the second fiscal quarter of 2023, ending June 30, 2023. The company demonstrated a commendable 24% increase in revenue compared to the same period in 2022, totaling $3.2 million. This growth is attributed to the successful progress of projects in China during the quarter, where Remark effectively collaborated with its vendors and customers to resume and expedite projects impacted by previous COVID-related measures.

The company's gross profit remained steady at approximately $0.7 million for the three months ending June 30, 2023. Operating loss was consistent at $4.0 million for the second quarter of 2023, mirroring the same period in 2022. Operating expenses experienced noteworthy changes, with general and administrative expenses decreasing due to reductions in stock-based compensation and business development expenses. However, asset impairments, increases in sales and marketing expenses, and technology and development expenses offset some of these decreases. 

Remark's net loss for the second quarter of 2023 amounted to $5.9 million, or $0.42 per basic and diluted share, in contrast to a net loss of $12.5 million, or $1.19 per basic and diluted share, during the same period in 2022. This decrease in net loss was primarily due to a significant decrease in interest expense and a decrease in finance costs related to obligations to issue Remark common stock as a result of transactions with Ionic Ventures, LLC.

As of June 30, 2023, Remark's cash balance stood at $0.2 million, marking an increase from $0.1 million at the end of December 2022. Remark's prudent financial management is evident, with net cash used in operating activities decreasing by 53% to $5.2 million for the six months ending June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022.

During the second quarter, Remark achieved significant milestones, including winning an initial $6.0 million, 30-month recurring revenue subscription contract to provide Rio De Janeiro police cars with license plate and mobile facial recognition capabilities. Remark's partnerships with leading technology players such as WaitTime, NVIDIA's Metropolis ecosystem, and the DSSL Group further exemplify the company's commitment to driving AI-powered solutions across various domains.
