Artificial Intelligence and Sports: Is Athletics AI-Proof?

There may be one profession that a lot of people agree is completely "AI-proof," and that is sports. But this does not mean artificial intelligence is absent from the game. In this episode, we discuss the ways AI in sports is already making an impact, from sports analytics to player performance, and what the industry is discussing as the next steps for the future of sports. Although there is no interest in watching AI-powered robots play basketball, there are definitely ways this technology will change athletics—for better or worse.

Being Positive on Artificial Intelligence: The Good AI Is Already Doing

Artificial Intelligence is here, and honestly — it feels like a bit of a bummer lately. Nobody seems to like AI right now, and for a number of reasons. But is it really all that bad? In this episode, we discuss some of the positive real-world instances where AI can, and in most cases already is, making a meaningful difference. While there are many legitimate concerns surrounding this new technology, there are also plenty of reasons to appreciate the good that continues to come out of it. Give us a listen — maybe you'll walk away seeing that this AI stuff can actually provide some real good in this world.

Politics....... Probably not the word most people want to hear but the influence of this institution are relevant to almost every aspect of our lives, including Artificial Intelligence. In this episode we go over the state of politics when it comes to AI policy and how different discussions are starting to play out. On this podcast we aim to be as neutral as possible and we have decided to bring this stance to have a level headed discussion about the politics of this technology.

Prompting an Episode: Creating a Podcast outline with the help of AI

Much has been made about AI workflows, but many people have yet to really settle into one. You may or may not know that we like to use AI to create an outline every 10th episode to help promote the practical use of AI tools. In this episode, we walk you through the entire process we use to make that happen. While we are still admittedly learning how to implement AI into our own workflow, projects like these help us grow in that process. We are excited to show you how, here in Episode 51, we came up with the outline used to create Episode 50. Sounds backwards? Well, it is — and that's exactly what makes it worth a listen.
