An online magazine has recognized the University of Waterloo as one of the five most innovative universities in North America and South America in the fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics.
Current, a website funded by Distrelec, an electronic components distributor based in Switzerland, ranked UW in fourth place, behind only the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Southern California.
A story on the rankings specifically noted research at Waterloo into the application of AI to health data from wearable devices and the creation last year of the Waterloo Artificial Intelligence Institute (Waterloo.ai), a joint venture of the faculties of engineering and mathematics.
Current focuses on robotics, machine learning, AI, automation and digitalization.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Indigenous Initiatives Office.
