The rule for this list is simple. A company has to be based in Charlotte, and AI or machine learning has to be the core of what it sells. We confirmed both from the company's own site, a press release or local tech news. Companies we could not confirm were left out, so this is not a complete census. The order is alphabetical, not a ranking.
