Niantic, the company behind Pokémon Go, has been scraping users’ scans of the world to build a model that will help robots navigate physical space. Some experts are worried about the potential applications.

Players of "Pokémon Go" — an augmented reality (AR) mobile game that took the world by storm upon its release in 2016 — have been unknowingly training an artificial intelligence (AI) model to map the planet at street level.

Niantic, the company behind the popular game, has revealed that it will use data scraped from its AR apps to construct a "large geospatial model" (LGM) that would enable robots and other devices to better navigate the physical world — even if they only have limited information.

The announcement, made Nov. 12 in a blog post on Niantic’s website, reveals that the company has drawn data from more than 10 million scanned locations worldwide, with users adding around 1 million more new scans each week.

This data has already been used to train 50 million local neural networks (collections of machine learning algorithms structured like the human brain) to operate in more than a million locations worldwide, the company said.

"In our vision for a Large Geospatial Model (LGM), each of these local networks would contribute to a global large model, implementing a shared understanding of geographic locations, and comprehending places yet to be fully scanned," Niantic staff scientist Eric Brachmann and chief scientist Victor Adrian Prisacariu wrote in the post. "The LGM will enable computers not only to perceive and understand physical spaces, but also to interact with them in new ways, forming a critical component of AR glasses and fields beyond, including robotics, content creation and autonomous systems."

Just as Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT consume vast quantities of text to accurately guess the most probable words to complete a sentence, LGMs gorge on geodata to infer what buildings in physical space should look like.

No sé cómo traducirlo: pero para los que no hablan inglés, el resumen sería: por lo que dice esta noticia, que es del 21 de noviembre. La gente que jugaba al Pokémon go por todo el mundo, estuvo trabajando sin saberlo, dando a la empresa del juego, datos de GPS que han servido para entrenar a una IA para mapear muchísimas ciudades, para que en un futuro, robots puedan circular teniendo un mapeado en su sistema de por donde pueden circular
