A facial recognition app designed by software engineer Charlette N’Guessan, a woman with unique identity issues.
She is an Ivorian tech entrepreneur based in Ghana, co-founder of BACE API (www.bacegroup.com). She studied Computer Science and secured various certifications in data science.
Charlette is the first woman to win the African Engineering Prize awarded by the Royal Academy of Engineering and has been recognized as one of 80 African women advancing artificial intelligence in Africa and around the world.
Charlette Désiré N’Guessan comes from an intriguing family, where all the women share the same name “Charlette”. It is confusing, and also a little ironic since she is a software engineer who has invented a facial recognition app.
In The Charlettes, by filmmaker Gauz, we see how this particular Charlette has made an impact in the tech world in Ivory Coast and Ghana, winning prizes and plaudits for her artificial intelligence (AI) identity invention.
