If you're interested in how AI will transform sports/sports broadcasting, and the future of sports business in general, this post is for you. This video shows the work done by a Polish TV station, which is now using computer vision to enhance the viewing of sports broadcasts with: i — FIFA-like radar overlays ii — Player recognition iii — Pass distance measurement iv — Ball speed and trajectory tracking during shots As noted in an executive AI session I facilitated last weekend [15th June 2024]; In the long term, the sports industry is one of the many business domains that stand to become far more valuable due to AI adoption in personal entertainment. This increased value of sports will be driven by the "objective nature" of sporting outcomes. A definitive score like 5-1 or 8-2 inherently holds more weight, becoming a more valuable form of entertainment compared to the millions of personalized films people will create. But this is just my professional opinion, I'd love to know what you think. In a future where hundreds of millions of people generate their own songs and films, how do you think sports will benefit?

** AI & FAST Take Center Stage at the 2023 Sports Video Group Summit!** Enjoyed this week's electrifying SVG Summit in NYC, and two hot topics dominated the buzz: Artificial Intelligence and Free Ad-Supported Streaming Television (FAST). -AI's potential is mind-blowing. Imagine personalized sports highlights curated by algorithms, automated camera scans, and AI-powered metadata generation. I can't wait to see how the conversation evolves next year! -But is FAST a game-changer or just another channel in the ocean? With countless new FAST players entering the arena, is it heading for overload? Will ad revenue alone sustain its long-term viability?
