INDIANAPOLIS —
Friday morning before gray skies opened up and pounded downtown Indianapolis with wet snow, NBA commissioner Adam Silver stood on stage with the NBA’s next big star, Victor Wembanyama.
The two went through a rehearsed skit as the league unveiled NB-AI, an artificial intelligence application that could turn an NBA game into a Marvel movie with voice command.
It was the clip from the NBA’s annual tech summit that went viral, the kind of innovation from the future that is good for clicks even if it lacks any real practical use.
