The University of Toronto is a world-leader in Artificial Intelligence (AI) research, including Machine and Deep Learning, Natural Language Processing, and computer vision, as well as the applications of cutting-edge technologies in areas such as human health, sustainability, humanities, engineering, finance, and e-commerce. Our scholars are also deeply engaged in exploring the implications, ethics, and impact of these technologies. We’ve highlighted some of U of T’s centres and units for AI research, and we’ll continue to compile and list resources for researchers as they become available.
