Summary:
- Researchers used artificial intelligence (AI) to map over 13 million buildings in one of the most remote regions of the world, the Sahara Desert in Africa.
- The AI system was able to analyze satellite imagery and automatically detect and map the locations of buildings across this vast, sparsely populated area.
- This detailed mapping of buildings and human settlements in the Sahara provides valuable data for urban planning, disaster response, and understanding patterns of human habitation in remote regions.
