WorldPop uses AI and geospatial modeling for census counts

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

WorldPop and its partners recently held a UNECA webinar to discuss innovative methods for counting populations in challenging environments. The discussion focused on leveraging geospatial modeling, artificial intelligence, and census mapping tools to achieve more accurate and reliable population data. These advancements aim to improve census counts, particularly in areas that are difficult to access or are undergoing rapid change. AI

IMPACT AI and geospatial tools are being applied to improve the accuracy and completeness of population data for censuses, particularly in challenging regions.
