Pokemon Go data is training military drones

Millions of Pokémon Go players spent years scanning real-world locations for in-game rewards. Now, reports suggest that data collected through those AR scans helped train AI systems that are being adapted for GPS-denied navigation—including technology with potential military drone applications.

Niantic says the data was collected voluntarily and that Pokémon Go data is no longer shared with Niantic Spatial following the sale of its gaming division. But the story raises a bigger question: how much do we really know about where our data ends up?

What do you think—fair use of data, or a breach of player trust?
