Genius Sports Broadcasting could be a new voice taking over humans doing voice overs and use a robot for AI in voice over broadcasting situations which could put tens of thousands out of work that work in broadcasting (image from Linkedin)

Artificial Intelligence in Sports Broadcasting

That’s Amaury News and Commentary

Today, AI helps coaches and players make strategic decisions and adjustments during games. Team executives, referees, and judges are using AI to their advantage. But how about in the media world, especially broadcasting?

The NFL is currently working with data specialists Genius Sports, working directly with a consumer streaming service. Data-driven to tell new stories to viewers so they can understand more about what they are watching. In other words, AI will tell you what you are watching if you cannot figure it out.

AI is more intelligent than you, everybody else, or so they believe. The NFL and Stats stream adds player name, location, speed and box score player stats to a live video feed. All in real-time. WOW!

Can Artificial Intelligence replace sports announcers? Not yet. However, jobs that are most likely to go the Dodo way are as follows (all by 2030) will be automated: cashiers, telemarketers, data entry clerks, and customer service agents.

Some human analysts believe that advances in AI’s data analysis and decision-making capabilities could affect some white-collar jobs, such as legal assistants and financial advisors.

AI can now effectively imitate or duplicate your voice, using just a short audio sample to learn your speech patterns and create a synthetic voice that sounds remarkably like you; this is often referred to as “voice cloning” and can be done with increasingly sophisticated AI tools, allowing anyone to generate speech seemingly spoken by you, even if they are not you.

AI will likely bring a lot of litigation. As they replicate your voice without your consent, you can file a lawsuit because using it without permission can violate your right to public and privacy laws or if the generated voice is used commercially or in a way that harms your reputation.

A simple example of Artificial Intelligence. Let’s say you search the internet for simple medical advice; you will see Medical organizations, hospitals, doctors, clinics, and so on give you their opinions. In that same article, you will also see the AI opinion on your topic of interest.

Artificial Intelligence is here to stay. The future will dictate whether it will help or hinder regular humans, but it poses an interesting situation. If you are not confused, here is the official definition. Humans are not considered artificial, which means man-made or created by humans.

Humans are a naturally occurring species on Earth, meaning they are not considered artificial by definition. In simpler terms, we created AI, and maybe they will destroy us in the end. Happy New Year!
