Exhibit 99.1

GuardforceAI Surpasses 4,800 Robot Deployments Worldwide

Expectsrobot deployments to exceed 10,000 by year-end

**NEWYORK, NY / May 4, 2022 / – Guardforce AI Co., Limited (“Guardforce AI” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:GFAI)(NASDAQ:GFAIW),**an integrated security solutions provider, announced today the deployment of more than 4,800  robots across 9 locations worldwide, including Hong Kong, Macau, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Dubai, USA, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

These Guardforce AI robot deployments cover various industries including, but not limited to government facilities, hospitals, hotels, tourist attractions, restaurants, sports centers, supermarkets, and transportation facilities. The integrated solutions provided by these robots include features such as disinfection, patrol, hotel check-in/check-out services (under testing), temperature screening, and advertising. A key component of the Company’s rollout strategy is to offer initial pilot programs to customers, which then allows Guardforce AI to gain customer feedback and upsell new features and applications. In turn, this has allowed Guardforce AI to quickly establish a meaningful foothold in the growing robotics sector.

Terence Yap, Chairman of Guardforce AI, stated, “In just February of this year, we announced we had surpassed 1,400 robot deployments. I am pleased to announce we have now surpassed 4,800 robot deployments worldwide, achieving an important milestone in our global expansion strategy. Our Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) business model is constantly evolving based on our customers’ feedback. For example, in Macau, we successfully tested advertisement placements, whereby customers can purchase ad space on our robots. In Hong Kong, we are currently testing self-service check-in and check-out robot integration with hotels. As we continue to penetrate the market and upgrade our AI solutions, we expect to offer an even more versatile robot solution, and capture a significant share of the rapidly growing, multi-billion-dollar RaaS market. We are also further developing our Intelligent Cloud Platform (ICP) to integrate AI solutions with our robots that we believe will create value by enhancing the customer experience, while improving operational efficiency. As a result of these and other initiatives, we anticipate our robot deployments will continue to grow rapidly and should exceed 10,000 deployments by year end.”
