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 emerging 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.
