Cannabis Retailers Across Canada Are Hiring AI Employees for Their Safety

Yahoo Finance. April 11, 2025

Unlike traditional models reliant on costly guards or outdated camera setups, Ranger is purpose-built with artificial intelligence.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.
