In this second edition of the workshop, we aim to bring researchers, policymakers, and regulators to discuss ways to ensure security and transparency while addressing fundamental problems in developing countries, particularly, when data and models are imported and/or collected locally with less focus on ethical considerations and governance guidelines.
Workshop Goals and Objectives:
Our primary goal is to foster the implementation of GeoAI solutions across different sectors for the sustainable development of African nations. Objectives include:
Showcasing the latest GeoAI advancements and their practical applications.
Discussing methodological challenges and ethical considerations within the African context.
Facilitating knowledge exchange and networking among students, researchers, industry practitioners, and policymakers.
Enhancing mentorship for up-and-coming scholars in the GeoAI domain.
