Overview
IBM’s generative AI commentator, watsonx, will be present at this year’s Wimbledon tournament. The AI will provide insights during video highlights packages, adding new kinds of tennis statistics, and will be available on the Wimbledon app and website. The AI draws upon IBM’s AI Draw Analysis feature to analyze players’ potential success in the singles draw. The AI’s presence is expected to provide a wider commentary on tennis beyond the main courts. This year, IBM continues its experiments combining AI with sports and pop culture analysis, having previously served ESPN fantasy football players and curated music debates for the Recording Academy and provided analytics and commentary for Bloomberg Television’s “That’s Debatable” show.
