At this year's Winter X Games in Aspen, athletes will compete under the scrutiny of both human judges and an A.I. judging system during snowboard SuperPipe events. While human judges will maintain authority over scores and medals, A.I. will provide an unofficial scoring evaluation that will be visible to commentators and viewers. Jeremy Bloom, CEO of X Games, believes this technology has the potential to enhance judging accuracy, acknowledging both human and A.I. errors. This initiative reflects the growing integration of technology in sports, potentially paving the way for A.I. to assist in various judged athletic disciplines in the future.
Artificial intelligence will provide a non-official scoring system during the winter X Games, showcasing its potential to assist human judges but not replace them.
Jeremy Bloom mentioned that while human judges can make mistakes, the aim is for A.I. to act as a supportive tool to enhance the judging process.
The use of technology in professional sports is growing, but snowboarding judging has primarily remained human-centered until this trial A.I. implementation.
A.I. has shown promise in other sports, such as gymnastics, offering insights into how it could contribute to scoring in judged events beyond this testing phase.
