No, Pokémon Go Data Isn't Being Used to Train Military Drones, Niantic Spatial Insists

Niantic Spatial denied reports that Pokémon Go location data is being used to train military drones, following a Dutch outlet's investigation into its partnership with Vantor, a defence-linked intelligence company. Niantic confirmed the partnership aims to develop GPS-denied positioning technology but stated data sharing is not part of the agreement. Ground scans trained AI models to recognize physical spaces, not to access underlying location data.
