AI Ghana

  I was browsing LinkedIn one day when I saw a post by AI Ghana looking for individuals to mentor in data science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. I tried my luck by applying, and in a few days I was invited for an interview to learn more about me. After the interview, in a few weeks I was accepted into the mentorship program out of a large number of applicants.  To add to that, I was very happy that day that I received an email that I had been accepted into the mentorship program. Since I am an artificial intelligence (AI) enthusiast and I didn't know where to start, this was a great opportunity for me to start my journey in the field. Besides, I am a geomatic engineering student, and I want to be a geospatial developer or geospatial data analyst in the future. Being in this mentorship is a step torward becoming who I want to be. Finally, my mentor, Godliver Alangyam, introduced me to the Python programming language, in which she taught me how to use some data scien

Introduction As I reflect on my incredible journey as a recent graduate of AI Ghana's mentorship program, I am filled with gratitude for the transformative experience it has been. This blog post is not only a testament to my personal growth but also a celebration of the program's profound impact on aspiring innovators like myself. Join me as I share my experience, from the foundational knowledge I gained to the groundbreaking project I am pursuing, all made possible by the guidance and support of AI Ghana. Establishing the Foundations: A Gateway to Possibilities AI Ghana's mentorship program provided me with a solid foundation in the world of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Under the expert guidance of my mentor, I embarked on a journey that introduced me to the fundamental concepts, algorithms, and evaluation techniques. The program's hands-on approach and engaging discussions ignited a spark within me, propelling me forward on the path of AI-driven innov

How Learning to Lie with Data is Essential to Prevent AI being Sexist and Racist Offering practical actionable support to data scientists who are making efforts to be responsible, while recognising why it is hard to do so. The course can be found    here . Course Summary This course title "How learning to lie with data is essential to prevent AI from being sexist and racist." is intended to catch attention but also highlights the content of this course which intends to support data scientists looking to do responsible AI. The first part of the title comes from a book from 1954 titled "How to lie with statistics" which has been brought back into consciousness through another book "Rebooting AI". The first part of this course presents elements of how data can be misleading, while providing concrete tips to identify and address these data issues. The second part of the title refers to a series of recent scandals where it is argued that AI has not been used re

AI Ghana, IoT Network Hub and partners present our next AI Meetup. It takes place on 24th June, 2023 at 1pm GMT. The meetup is on Data Science Fundamentals. This workshop will be facilitated by Emmanuel Agbeli who is a data scientist at Aya Data. It is meant to be a very practical session where participants will get to learn some fundamentals of data science by getting their hands dirty working with data to solve a specific problem.  Book your place by filling the form below (before filling this form, be sure to read our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service ):  Applications are currently closed.
