Post 6: Using AI Professionally or Personally

I plan to use AI going forward in my future, and I don’t think I have much of a choice over this. I’ve always hoped for my career to be something revolving around sports analytics or sports journalism/broadcasting. In those fields, it is required for AI to be used to facilitate things like percentages, box scores, charts, and even more stats. Some people would not be okay with this, but it is something I think is very cool and shows ways that sports features can be highlighted in different formats for the better. I believe this brings an exciting new feature to the world of sports. In 2024, The International Olympic Committee (IOC) became the first organization to imbed artificial intelligence into sports. The reason being was the IOC believed that AI officials could find prospective talented athletes while implementing proper training programs for them. The IOC also believed that to make the Olympic games fairer from a judge standpoint, they would have artificial intelligence assist with this process. IOC President Thomas Bach said, “We are determined to exploit the vast potential of AI in a responsible way.” This highlights the efforts of the company using AI in an ethical matter. We should be paying close attention to a topic like this because in the world of sports, nearly 82 percent of leagues/companies use artificial intelligence nowadays. This resembles extreme growth and these organizations have done a tremendous job using artificial intelligence in a responsible and ethical matter. In my opinion, this percentage is only going to continue to grow.  This is exciting, fun, creative, and uniquely shows the ways that AI can benefit jobs in sports media or analytics. The good thing is that AI is not going to take over jobs, and many employees are not at risk of having their jobs taken with AI during this shift. So, I conclude with thinking that AI is very beneficial to the sports world of analytics and data. It will be exciting to see how far it goes.
