“I chose to study AI in general because it is such a fast growing and interesting field. I’ve chosen to do it Ontario for two main reasons, the first being that my family is located here and I value being close to them. And the second is that Canada is a world leader in AI talent concentration, right now it seems like Canada, or Ontario, is the place to be if you want to pursue a career in AI.”
