NVIDIA Opening AI Research Lab in Toronto NVIDIA Blogs

Toronto is a thriving hub for AI experts, thanks in part to foundational work out of the University of Toronto and government-supported research organizations like the Vector Institute. We're tapping further into this expertise by investing in a new AI research lab -- led by leading computer scientist Sanja Fidler -- that will become the focal point of our presence in the city. NVIDIA's Toronto office opened in 2015, leveraging our acquisition of TransGaming, a game-technology company, and currently numbers about 50. With the new lab, our goal is to triple the number of AI and deep learning researchers working there by year's end. It will be a state-of-art facility for AI talent to work in and will expand the footprint of our office by about half to accommodate the influx of talent.
