> Dominion is betting that AI powered sensor networks and autonomous drones can give Canada real time eyes on a vast and thinly defended Arctic border. The round is notable less for its size than for what it signals, mid sized nations are now willing to fund homegrown AI defense companies rather than depend entirely on American suppliers. Expect more sovereign AI defense rounds like this as Arctic geopolitics keep heating up.
