Last week, sports data and analysis firm STATS launched an artificial intelligence tool called Edge. The new feature aims to use AI and machine learning to help teams analyze their own play, compare playing styles, and investigate how set plays change games. It is also designed to link that analysis directly to video.
“On average, it takes backroom analysts 25 hours over the course of three days using video from five previous matches to find insights on an opponent and develop winning strategies,” said Dr. Patrick Lucey, Vice President of AI at STATS, in a statement.
