AI In Sports

[sealhall74]

Computers and cameras now calling the INs, OUTs, and FAULTs at the US Open.
You can easily generate a game recap from the boxscore stats for most sports these days.
As far as I know, some human is still in the loop tracking those stats for the boxscore.
When that piece of the puzzle gets automated, we will be on the brink of a Brave New World.
But I really miss the coaches and players comments about the game.  Good reporters know
how to ask the tough questions to get those comments.  Will a computer be able to 
master that in anything other than a cookie-cutter fashion?
