Pokemon Go players "train" navigation AI model, Google unveils super weather forecast model "GenCast

2024-12-09
Niantic, the company which develops augmented reality game Pokémon GO, is set to build up a gigantic navigation AI model using data collected from player scans of public locations.

The popular mobile game asks players to walk around the city - especially in areas cars can't reach - and scan their surroundings.

There are currently around 10 million scanned locations around the world, with over one million new scans every week, according to a recent blog post by Niantic.

So how will Niantic use these data to develop its navigation tool, and how will it compare to popular mapping platforms like Google Map?

Tune in to hear what AI consultant Raj Shroff has to say in this week's Tech Tuesday.

You'll also hear about Google’s new weather forecast AI model “GenCast”, which can generate a 15-day forecast within minutes.
