Ghanaian Student Creates AI Breast Cancer Detection System

A Ghanaian teenager, Mustapha Diyaol Haqq, created an AI system that is able to predict breast cancer. The high school student of T.I. Ahmadiyya Senior High School in Kumasi, says he taught himself to code and got himself working as a coding instructor and a mentor in Ghana Code Club.

The AI model makes use of breast cancer test results from breast fine needle aspiration test to classify breast cancer tumour  I for malignant (cancerous) and O for benign (Not cancerous).

Mustapha believes that over time with the use of larger Ghanaian data, models can be created with higher accuracy and used for real case scenarios. His model was tested on the machine learning repository by the University of California.
