Disclaimer; I misunderstood slightly the implied data being discussed. The actual program appears, from the OP and the comment I'm reading, to be about combining aerospace related data from multiple sources; I have potentially misunderstood as a system of combining data on individuals. If it is a system for aerospace, then it's totally fine and good. If it's about tracking people, the following applies:
Nobody should have to power to, at the drop of the hat, learn damn near everything about a person from what they've done to what they will do, without that person ever giving that information away. This is, in effect, what this will be if this description is correct.
People have fundamental patterns. By analyzing the patterns of huge swaths of people and cross examining them with the known data about an individual, you can determine way more than you'd ever think about them.
Big tech collects this data for this very reason. Location data, every picture you take, every word you say in range of a microphone, everything you type, every purchase you make, bank account transaction, all of it is logged. All of it can be used to build a model that will, with extreme precision, be able to tell the person wielding it where you are at all times, what you're doing, and what you'll do next.
Here's the kicker; they can assemble this without you ever giving them any information, because inevitably you will be tracked by others around you. Someone is taking a selfie and you are in the background? Bam. A store has a security camera and you're on it? Bam. There's a "smart" electronic device within 20 feet of you, recording everything? Bam.
This data already exists. It is already being exploited. What this tool would do is take it all and combine it to create the ultimate system of automatically knowing everything about a person.
That is a power no human being should ever have, period. It is a power that makes the atomic bomb, social media spying, all intelligence services operations up until this point, all censorship, all of it, look pathetic in comparison.
No idea, I'm afraid, but it definitely wouldn't need a quantum computer to do either of these. The latter is complicated, but like I mentioned the social media companies already do this to some extent. It's just a matter of degree and who they can get information from.
Of course it is good in the hands of ‘white hats’
Because there will ALWAYS be evil, and anyone that believes this ‘awakening’ will purge evil from Earth they are very mistaken.
We must have safeguards in place to always protect us from the worst of evils taking control of our world.

Is it like the Quantum Computer programme in the TV show, DEVS?
