Technology has always played a crucial role in professional sports, from instant replay to wearable tech. Now, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is set to revolutionize the industry.
Generative AI's (GenAI) transformative potential in sports is driven by three converging factors: the explosion of data from smart devices, advancements in computing power, and the expertise to turn data into actionable insights. This convergence has created a GenAI moment, expected to have a cumulative global economic impact of $19.9 trillion through 2030 and drive 3.5% of global GDP in 2030, transforming professional sports data from a costly liability to a valuable asset.
