The prestigious Wimbledon tournament is set to introduce artificial intelligence-powered commentary in July.
All England Club has tapped tech giant IBM’s Watsonx AI platform to create audio commentary and captions for its video highlight packages. Watsonx is the company’s enterprise AI and data platform. According to IBM’s the platform has been trained in the “unique language of tennis.”
The All England Club’s relationship with AI is not entirely new, as the club currently uses IBM’s technology to generate its player power index. The index is one of the tools used to analyze how a tennis player is performing on the court.
