With the 2024US OpenAs the 2022 Winter Olympics approaches, fans and athletes will be treated to an unprecedented digital experience.IBM In collaboration with the United States Tennis Association (USTA), we have launched a series of new AI features to improve the efficiency of event interaction and information transmission. These AI features driven by the WatsonX platform will provide more detailed post-match summaries, more vivid AI commentary, and a fully upgraded SlamTracker during the competition.
This year, IBM has launched AI-generated match reports covering every men's and women's singles match, with detailed analysis available to viewers within minutes of the match. These reports not only include player performance, statistics and highlights, but will also be reviewed and supplemented by the USTA editorial team to ensure the accuracy and authority of the content. IBM said that this technology will enable the USTA to provide information to fans at an unprecedented speed and scale in all 254 main event singles matches.
In addition, IBM's AI commentary capabilities have been enhanced, and fans can listen to updated English commentary and subtitles on digital platforms, adding more interest to the highlight videos of men's and women's singles matches. This year's commentary is more frequent, vivid and emotional, allowing viewers to relive the highlights of the game in just a few minutes.
The redesigned SlamTracker is also worth looking forward to, as fans can get detailed analysis before, during and after the game, including win rate predictions, point-by-point analysis and game summaries, etc. The launch of this series of new features is aimed at providing comprehensive event coverage for fans around the world, ensuring that everyone can grasp the dynamics of the game at the first time.
Additionally, IBM and USTA’s charitable foundation have partnered to offer free career training courses for students, teachers and the public from the A Foundation’s National Junior Tennis and Learning (NJTL) program to help increase participation and support IBM’s goal of helping 30 million people improve their skills by 2030.
