AI in Football or in business

How to use AI in Football or in business (mutatis mutandis)? Start with the low hanging fruit. i.e. problems or recurring situations with a simple and more static environment like corner kicks vs. the full dynamic of a football game (or a full business environment), but potentially with a high payoff (in business language - profit pools) and explore and generate value. As Mr. Wang, from the Deep-Mind that developed this specific model, mentions: “…sport offers a safe and controllable test-bed to develop helpful ai technologies that might one day be used in health care or defense. After all, football is not a matter of life and death. It is, as Bill Shankly, a former Liverpool manager, once observed, much more important than that…” AI models can improve corner-kick tactics https://www.economist.com/science-and-technology/2024/03/19/ai-models-can-improve-corner-kick-tactics from The Economist
