IBM’s Watson to Deliver Automated Wimbledon Highlights Using AI

IBM’s cloud-based supercomputer Watson will use artificial intelligence to deliver automated highlights to fans during Wimbledon.

The company has partnered with The All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) to implement new technologies for 2018 that will include data insights delivered to fans 15 minutes after an event occurs. They’re also working together on implementing AI solutions that will drive business efficiency (via increased security technologies and a more comprehensive highlights dashboard used by the AELTC editorial team).

IBM says Watson will reveal new insights into what elite athletes need to have success on the court, and, ultimately, to win Wimbledon.
