Whether you’re old school or you love analytics, sports technology continues to grow.
A collaboration in Pittsburgh bringing new tech to pro football.
The NFL and Carnegie Mellon have collaborated in a way that allows official film and on-field data to help develop new technology to build an A.I. model that can learn football.
Chenyan Xiong told KDKA's Colin Dunlap that this could really help the NFL with scouting.
"There are just too many films to watch from, you know, all the college, and that is also one of the reasons why, you know, the top schools get all this attention,” said Xiong. “But there are also, you know, diamonds in the rough where I think with AI the scouts may be able to get through a lot of more films and be able to find the better players that are maybe in some underrepresented places."
This appears to be the very tip of technology iceberg.
