Hadrien Canter on AI diffusing from consumer tech into defense (Alta Ares) #defense

The defense sector historically spurred AI innovation. Today, peace enables LLM development requiring significant computing power. However, frontline connectivity issues present a different AI challenge, limiting its applicability where infrastructure is targeted. #AIInnovation #TechFrontiers Hadrien Canter is CEO of Alta Ares, an air defense neoprime. Hadrien is the Founder and CEO of Alta Ares, a European AI-first defense company focused on the air domain. He spent years working operationally across the Middle East and Eastern Europe, including Ukraine, well before the region became central to European defense policy. After the 2022 invasion, he identified a critical air defense capacity gap and expanded Alta Ares into AI-driven counter-drone systems trained on battlefield data. --- The Research and Applied AI Summit (RAAIS) is a community for entrepreneurs and researchers who accelerate the science and applications of AI technology for the greater good.
