MIT Technology Review reported on September 4 that the drone wreckage littering Ukrainian battlefields has become a source for a largely unregulated marketplace in flight and sensor data, sold to firms training autonomous targeting and navigation systems. There is no established provenance or export regime for this data. It is the clearest current example of a training corpus whose supply chain nobody can audit.
