TORONTO: #AI--Cannabis retailers across Canada are transforming their security strategies by hiring AI employees to protect their businesses, staff, and customers.

Facing rising threats of break-ins, internal theft, and complex compliance demands, cannabis stores are turning to Ranger — an AI security employee by ArcadianAI that autonomously monitors properties 24/7 with unmatched precision and intelligence.

Unlike traditional models reliant on costly guards or outdated camera setups, Ranger is purpose-built with artificial intelligence. It connects directly to existing CCTV infrastructure, detecting suspicious behavior in real time and preventing incidents before they escalate — all without expensive hardware upgrades.

Ranger also brings long-term memory and decision-making to security operations. It learns to differentiate between employees, customers, and unknown visitors, and can take critical actions such as calling 911, locking or unlocking doors, and escalating incidents based on context.

"Security has always been one of the biggest headaches in running a cannabis store. You worry about break-ins, staff safety — and hiring guards is expensive and unreliable. Bringing in an AI employee like Ranger was a no-brainer for us," said Zara Lah, a cannabis retail owner in Toronto.

Since its launch earlier this year, Ranger has been deployed at cannabis retail locations from British Columbia to Nova Scotia. Retailers report faster incident responses, major loss prevention, and significantly fewer false alarms — proving that AI employees are reshaping the future of cannabis retail protection.

ArcadianAI’s recent "Fire Your Human Guards" campaign has generated national buzz, urging retailers to rethink outdated security models and adopt AI employees that work smarter, faster, and more reliably.

With Canada’s cannabis market projected to exceed $8 billion by 2026, investing in next-generation AI security solutions has become critical. AI employees like Ranger deliver nonstop surveillance, real-time threat detection, and human-level decision-making — all at a fraction of the cost of traditional security guards.
