Episode Synopsis

What, if any, are the limits for artificial intelligence in sport? Will AI help take sport to new levels of exciting never-before-seen gameplay? Or will it cause sport to no longer be considered ‘sport’ at all? To break things down, host Professor Sam Robertson is joined by two brilliant guests. First up is Dr Ellen Broad, renowned artificial intelligence expert and author of much-awarded book 'Made By Humans: The AI Condition'. Next, Sam chats to Dr Xavi Schelling, Director of Sports Science and Performance for the NBA's San Antonio Spurs. Together, Sam, Ellen and Xavi discuss the benefits and dangers of AI, how it affects the sports industry and people working within it, how it's currently being utilised to track athletes, and how we might make better use of it in the future. What do you think about the use of AI in sport?
