Artificial intelligence and machine learning represent one of the fastest-growing SR&ED categories. Companies developing novel neural network architectures, training optimization techniques, computer vision systems, natural language processing models, and reinforcement learning approaches frequently qualify. The CRA has increasingly recognized AI/ML work as eligible when it involves technological uncertainty — not just applying existing models, but advancing capabilities in accuracy, efficiency, interpretability, or domain adaptation. Canada's strong AI research ecosystem makes this a particularly active area for SR&ED claims.
