As masks become mandatory indoors in Toronto to fight the spread of COVID-19, and other parts of the GTA look to follow suit, some businesses are turning to artificial intelligence to make sure customers are following the rules. New technology from a company called GroundLevel Insights, based in Pickering, Ont., is being used at a dozen locations throughout Canada. Three business in the GTA are using the system, including at Flour Confections, a bake supply shop in Pickering. In addition to Toronto's mandatory mask bylaw, York, Halton and Peel regions are considering the move. A similar bylaw will come into effect in the Durham region on Friday.
