Description

Episode 28 explores Hashtag United’s bold move to introduce AI-generated footballers Holly Durango and Harvey Kasper.

The episode also examines the ethical, legal and strategic questions raised by AI players—authenticity, intellectual property, transparency, costs and potential regulation—and offers practical advice for clubs, sponsors and investors considering similar innovations.
