Artificial Intelligence
Train the models of tomorrow - deep learning, neural networks, and data science.
Standalone AI programs focus specifically on machine learning, deep neural networks, natural language processing, and computer vision. Canada is a global AI powerhouse - the Vector Institute (Toronto), Mila (Montreal), and Amii (Edmonton) are world-leading research hubs. The degree is mathematically intense, and most serious AI careers involve graduate study.
