Toronto, Canada's largest city, is often celebrated for its cultural diversity, iconic landmarks, and burgeoning food scene. However, in recent years, the city has been gaining recognition for something a bit more cerebral - its contributions to the realm of artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning.

The AI Revolution in Toronto

What many people may not realize is that Toronto and its research ecosystem have been the driving forces behind the global AI and deep learning revolution. The city’s institutions and universities, such as the University of Toronto and the Vector Institute, have long been at the forefront of AI research. In addition to academic research, a plethora of companies in Toronto are now working tirelessly to solve difficult problems and pushing the boundary of what is possible using AI.

An ecosystem, by definition, is a community of interacting organisms and their environment. When it comes to AI, Toronto’s ecosystem is brimming with innovators, entrepreneurs, researchers, and, most importantly, startups. These startups are not just passively riding the AI wave but actively shaping the future of AI and technology. The community is building a curated list of all AI startups in the Greater Toronto Area that are part of this burgeoning ecosystem.
