Interview with Andrews Ata Kangah: Localising illegal mining sites using machine learning and geospatial data

Andrews Ata Kangah is a team leader and researcher working on democratizing AI and AI solutions for environmental problems. We spoke to him about his research, attending the AfriClimate AI workshop at the Deep Learning Indaba, and what inspired him to work in AI and on climate-related projects. My name is Andrews Ata Kangah. I also double as a researcher at Armtos, which is a non-profit. At Armtos, our current goal is to build a solution to solve the illegal mining problem that's going on in Ghana. The mining is destroying the lands that are within mining areas.
