Global Challenge to harvest data for infrastructure development launched
The African Centre for Economic Transformation (ACET) and Omdena, a collaborative technology platform, have launched a global challenge that aims to use artificial intelligence to predict future infrastructure needs of Africa.
The project, dubbed: “The Omdena Challenge,” is an attempt to harvest data comprehensively in Africa to improve infrastructure.
Comprising 42 data scientists from 20 countries, the challenge represents a unique opportunity for accelerating positive change on the continent through the use of advanced technology and innovation.
A statement signed by Mr Rob Floyd, the ACET Director and Senior Advisor, copied to the Ghana News Agency in Accra on Friday, said: “This challenge is important in that it brings together ACET’s work on innovation and on infrastructure.”
