Canada’s women’s soccer team was accused of spying on New Zealand using drones in the 2024 summer Olympics in Paris. They got caught and their head coach was then fired. Although drones are helpful for seeing angles we can’t, assisting broadcasters and helping analyze players, they can also be used to help other teams see what their opponents are working on. This is exactly what the Canadian team got accused of doing, and other situations like this have been discovered. As technology becomes more advanced, situations like this may happen more often. It is important to learn from this experience so that technology is being used responsibly in the future.
