What Our Clients
Say About Us
AyaSpeech in Action
Real-Time Transcription of American Police Radios
Aya Data partnered with a US technology firm to provide real-time transcription of American police radio communications. Our team of C1/C2 English speakers transcribed over 500,000 police calls in 18 months, overcoming poor audio quality and colloquial language challenges. We consistently outperformed all other vendors in accuracy, contributing directly to the successful launch of the client's crime alert app.
Using AI and Drones to Create Precision Agricultural Systems for Commercial Farming
Aya Data partnered with a 6,000-ha palm plantation in Ghana to develop a computer vision-powered crop management system.
Our team labelled aerial RGB image datasets, which were used to train a highly accurate palm-counting model. The solution, deployed through an ArcGIS dashboard, enabled the client to visualise plant count and other parameters, vastly enhancing their farming operations.

Sustainable Dev’t In Ghana
The latest survey by the Ghana Statistical Service revealed that 42,396 agribusiness firms closed during the lockdown, with 16,091 of those firms still remaining closed. The impact of COVID-19 was more pronounced in the service and industry sectors, particularly for agribusiness firms that closed as a result of the lockdown. Furthermore, 55.2 percent of the total workforce in agribusiness were laid off due to the pandemic.
Objectivity and Ground Truth in AI
Ground truth’ is somewhat of a confusing machine learning buzzword. Discussions of the ground truth naturally touch on areas such as bias, representation, and objectivity, and it’s a concept worthy of discussion. One of the main pitfalls of AI is that it’s often assumed to be inherently objective. The cold, objective rationalism of AI manifests in sci-fi characters and robots like Walter and David in Alien or even the machines in the Matrix.
Predicting Crime With AI: Navigating Ethical Issues
In June 2022, a cross-discipline team of researchers at the University of Chicago created an AI model that could predict the location and rate of crime in the city with 90% accuracy. The team utilized citywide crime open data between the years of 2014 and 2016, dividing the city into squares of around 1000ft (300m). The resulting model could predict the square where crime was most likely to occur 1-week in advance.
AI Embodies The Bias Of Internet Content
OpenAI is a significant player in the modern artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) space. While the parent company is a non-profit, it also consists of a for-profit company that received a $1 billion investment from Microsoft in 2019. OpenAI has become well-known for its novel and innovative AIs, including Jukebox, a neural net that generates music, DALL-E that generates images from text, and GPT-3, which produces human-like text.
What is a Human-in-the-Loop?
Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) models still largely require the input of humans to train, tune and test models to ensure their accuracy and performance. When humans are positioned in the ML and AI loop or cycle, they can be referred to as humans-in-the-loop (HITLs). HITL means leveraging both human and machine decision-making to train, optimize and test machine learning models.
Top 10 Books on Machine Learning and AI
Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) are foundational technologies in today’s technologically evolved and hyper-digital era. Computers changed the world, but ML and AI are changing computers by equipping them with the ability to process complex information at unprecedented scale and speed. Intellligent, human-like AIs are becoming more common, and we’re not even close to the peak yet.
The Impacts of Bad AI
AI is a force of good, right? That’s what the industry must strive for, but the positive impacts of AI are far from guaranteed. AI is the hallmark technology of our era, but it’s entangled in risks, and even die-hard futurists have niggling worries that advanced AI may signal our demise. You only have to look at how we’ve imagined AI in popular culture, film, and literature to understand that AI inspires fear as well as awe.
What is a Human-in-the-Loop?
In 2021, the European Commission published its proposal for Artificial Intelligence Regulation, or in their words; “a proposal for a Regulation laying down harmonized rules on artificial intelligence.” This is expected to be the first coherent piece of ongoing regulation and legislation on AI. Not only will the regulation change the way future AI projects are developed in the EU and across much of the world, but it’ll also change the way current AI projects are deployed and distributed.
