The World Is Looking to Toronto to Lead Again.
Jamie Atkinson is running to make Toronto the AI Capital of the World — led by people using AI and robotics to lower costs, improve city services, support artists, and prepare every neighbourhood for the future.
A campaign to elect the world’s first AI-enabled mayoralty — with human judgment, public oversight, and Toronto values at the centre.
A people-first AI campaign for a city that actually works.
Toronto does not need technology for technology’s sake. Toronto needs a mayor who can use intelligence, systems thinking, and modern tools to make housing approvals faster, services more reliable, streets cleaner, transit smarter, and opportunities broader.
That is what AI enablement means: training people, empowering workers, building sovereign compute, protecting public data, and making every resident part of the next economy.
