Game, Set & Match - It is only 4 days till the start of the Championships, Wimbledon! I have fond memories living in Wimbledon many years ago when the championships were on with the buzz and the excitement around the village. It has been fascinating to learn about how IBM and Wimbledon are working together to use AI to enhance the fan experience, turning data into meaningful insights and stories for tennis fans everywhere. Please click on the link to learn more about how AI is being utilised to enhance the fans experience at Wimbledon and the technology developments seen since IBM became the official technology partner or official partner since 1990. https://ibm.biz/BdmT7Q This year there is the new Catch Me Up feature, available in the Wimbledon app and website, provides AI-generated summaries for every singles player—describing what happened in their last match and the challenges they face in their next one. Users can personalise their Catch Me Up list by adding their favourite players so well worth a look. IBM #Wimbledon and #watsonx | #ProudIBMer | #IBM

Wimbledon's gone digital with AI! 🎾🤖 The All-England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) has just launched "Catch Me Up," an AI-powered tool using IBM's Watsonx generative AI to give fans the lowdown on Wimbledon 2024, even if they're not courtside. Think of it as a super-smart match summariser, providing short-form commentary on player progress in "cards" on the Wimbledon website and app. It's not just about the big names either, Catch Me Up will shine a light on the up-and-coming stars in junior and wheelchair tournaments. And the best part? The AI has been trained in the classic Wimbledon tone of voice, so it's all very proper and very British. 😉 With 55% of tennis fans believing AI will have a positive impact on the game, is this the future of fan engagement? #Wimbledon #AI #Tennis #Innovation #CatchMeUp #IBM #Watsonx #FanEngagement Read more here 👇 : https://lnkd.in/ed4tBQU7 Follow for more emerging technology news.

Tennis has come a long way from the early days of Wimbledon, more than 140 years ago. The game is faster, more professional and much more expensive: big money is on the line. With that in mind, players and coaches want all the help they can get. Data is key. That's true even for people not directly involved in the event. Fans love seeing stats about their favourite players and following their journey. Beneath the grassy courts, the tennis whites and the strawberries and cream, IBM Data's Bunker is hard at work every year gathering and analysing that data for the insights used by sporting desks around the world. The team also works on the public-facing tech, like Wimbledon.com and the Wimbledon app. A great write-up of our longstanding partnership with Wimbledon by Tom Allen in Computing. https://lnkd.in/ebN8M-65 "We're giving fans around the world a feeling of being here without being here," explains Kevin Farrar, Head of Sport Partnerships at IBM UK. "It's really bringing the drama and excitement and beauty of Wimbledon to fans around the world, through those digital platforms." IBM has been working with Wimbledon since 1990. Together, we have pioneered some major innovations to make the tournament more accessible. But in all that time, only the major courts have enjoyed match commentary. Until now. IBM introduced #AIgenerated highlight reels in 2017, using AI to "listen to the noise of the crowd [and] look at the gestures of the players" to analyse excitement levels, gluing clips together into short videos to post online. Juniors, seniors, wheelchair tennis - all of them have highlights, but no commentary. The solution is IBM's new AI Commentary feature, which builds on the highlight reel function. As of this year a synthetic voice (or closed captions) will provide play-by-play narration for the start and end of each reel, along with key points. "A lot of the top commentators have actually played on the Centre Court. Our AI is never going to play on the Centre Court. This is about providing commentary, ultimately, where there isn't commentary today." The system is built on #WatsonX, IBM's enterprise AI and #data platform for #generativeAI. Like any AI it needed training before being unleashed in a live environment. The system is based on an #IBM #foundationmodel called Sandstone, which has been "trained in sport." Once it's been trained, the model needs tuning by humans and AI working together. Finally, once the #AI has been deployed there's an ongoing governance and monitoring procedure, "to make sure that it continues to be trusted AI." #GameSetMatch #TennisWhites Diageo’s #Pimms #IBMAI Find out more about WatsonX: https://lnkd.in/e3gPCVwU #ItsAGreatTimeToBeAnIBMer #AI #GenAI #GenerativeAI #HybridCloud #IntelligentWorkflows #IBMConsulting #IBM #IBMTechnology #IBMResearch #watson #watsonx
