AI in Sports: Transforming the Game

Artificial Intelligence is transforming every part of professional and amateur sports from athletes' performance optimization and workout personalization to automatic game arbitration and unseen fan engagement. Hence, it is not surprising that global AI in Sports market is expected to grow at 33% CAGR from 2020 to 2027 and reach a market value of over $3.5B by 2027. In this article, we explore the uses of AI in sports, emerging players and models, recent VC deals and exits as well as a path forward for the industry.

Drivers behind Sports industry transformation with Artificial intelligence

The popularity of wearables, penetration of smartphones acting as a hub for those wearables, availability of peripheral data including videos and images from games, and development of measuring sensors - are the main factors that propel the AI evolution of the sports industry.

It is not just about more sports data being available. We are now able to access deeper tracking data that is collected using Computer Vision or wearables allowing to perform a more insightful type of analysis and forecasting, both were impossible before AI.

So, what sports data is available to us? Box scores, event data, and tracking data help reconstruct the match or a particular performance. Video footage, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) wearables track players' location and data from the radar can track ball trajectory.

GPS wearables collect additional data such as heart rate and betting data. In-venue data provides a better and safer fan experience during the game.

Finally, the meta data collected on each fan brings a personalized gaming experience and recommendations of future events.

In sports, AI has reached a point of advancement where it significantly transforms areas such as athlete performance metrics, game strategy formulation, injury mitigation, and fan interaction. AI's main competencies are its capacity to process and interpret extensive amounts of data for immediate decision-making, forecast event outcomes with high precision, and tailor fan experiences based on individual preferences.

How exactly is AI changing the Sports industry?

Let's look at the applications of AI in Sports industry.

  • Player recruitment — By analyzing players' profiles (condition, goals, team fit, playing style), technology is changing the decision-making of the coach during the scouting process for buying and selling players and thus enabling the clubs to compose the best performing teams.

  • Coaching & training — Similarly, coaches can now use the analysis of each player's performance to make decisions before, during, and after the game. The real-time analytics during the game can assist coaches in making effective strategic moves such as best player substitution or most effective line-up.

  • Athletes' performance improvement — Smart wearables and sensors provide real-time insights into the health conditions and performance of athletes allowing for efficient training/exercise routines, nutrition plans, and sleep strategies.

  • Broadcasting — Automation of repetitive tasks such as game content cataloging is reduced to almost “real-time” thanks to AI which makes games fully searchable. Other applications in broadcasting include specific game segment retrieval, quicker content creation, automated captioning and subtitling, game highlights creation, video notifications, and scorecards on OTT Apps, as well as immersive game experience.

  • Predictive & Prescriptive analytics — Predictive analytics is using data to build models that can predict game outcomes, game simulations as well as foresee injury risks and forecast athlete performance based on biometric data in real time. With the advancement of AI, we hope coaches will soon receive prescriptive advice on the best course of action based on various available data.

  • Fan engagement — Thanks to AI, fans can enjoy access to increasingly complex stats on games, immersive game experience, viewing recommendations, access to data on athletes that coaches use to make decisions, personal treatment via communication with chatbots, and improved stadium logistics - all improve fan engagement and thus increase collected revenues.

  • Augmented Reality — AR is revolutionizing visual content streamed via phone, smart glasses, or other gadgets whether it is for in-stadium experiences or at-home fans looking for an immersive feeling from the comfort of their couch.

  • Other applications — In addition to the cases mentioned above, AI is also changing the role of the referee as it proved to be making better and fairer decisions. The betting industry will be going through major transformations as AI will be predicting winners and losers better than humans do now.

    Finally, AI will be developing new sports with the first example being Speedgate. Introduced by design agency AKQA, it merges concepts from croquet, rugby, and soccer, with six-player teams kicking a ball around a field with three gates.

    Additionally, Metaverse is creating totally new opportunities in Sports. While we are still a long way from meaningful confluence of digital and physical worlds, it is exciting to imagine its impact on fan engagement and general sports experience.

    The rise of ChatGPT and other Large Language Models make it possible to automatically write match reports that accurately summarize key events during the game in an engaging manner.

AI in Sports Challenges and final thoughts

With the advancement of AI, the sensors, wearables, processors, and algorithms will become more accurate, drastically changing the way sports are played, viewed, and monetized across the globe. We are excited at the changes AI already brings and will bring to the sports industry. More AI means less effort to reach better results, smarter workouts, fairer game outcomes, and an unparalleled gaming experience for fans. While we are very bullish on the impact of AI in Sports, we acknowledge its current limitations:

While AI provides a wealth of detailed performance metrics and aids in formulating strategic plans, its current capabilities cannot supplant human coaches' irreplaceable intuition and experience. The capacity of a seasoned coach to interpret subtle cues, respond in real-time to unexpected situations, and forge meaningful connections with athletes, demonstrates that even as we continue to integrate AI into sports, the human touch remains invaluable and indispensable.
