How can you use AI to enhance sports media coverage?

AI is transforming the way sports media coverage is produced, distributed, and consumed. From generating highlights and captions to analyzing data and creating personalized content, AI can help sports media professionals and fans get more value and insight from their favorite sports. In this article, we will explore some of the ways you can use AI to enhance your sports media coverage, whether you are a broadcaster, journalist, marketer, or enthusiast.

1 Generate highlights and captions

One of the most common applications of AI in sports media is to automatically generate highlights and captions from live or recorded video. This can save time and resources for media outlets and platforms, as well as provide more engaging and accessible content for viewers. For example, IBM Watson uses AI to analyze video, audio, and text data to create highlights and captions for Wimbledon and the US Open tennis tournaments. The AI can identify the most exciting moments, such as aces, rallies, and reactions, and generate captions that describe the action and emotion.

Do not rely too much on artificially created content as advanced readers will always find the 'mechanical mind' behind a text and get suspicious of the intentions of the organization. You can, however, use AI massively to generate content ideas and inspiration.

Gamification is not limited to quizzes, a lot of other engagement game formats driving the engagement between fan and sponsor need customized graphics and content. Here AI can help to make production so efficient that there is a business case. E.g. designing top trumps cards or a scavenger hunt was a lot of design effort before and too expensive, now customizing a template is feasible.

5 Improve accessibility and diversity

AI can also help improve accessibility and diversity in sports media coverage, by providing more options and opportunities for different languages, cultures, and backgrounds. This can expand the reach and impact of sports media content, as well as promote inclusion and representation. For example, Google Cloud uses AI to translate and transcribe sports media content into different languages, such as Spanish, Hindi, and Arabic, using natural language processing and speech recognition. The AI can also adapt the tone and style of the translation and transcription to suit the context and audience.

AI is a powerful tool that can enhance sports media coverage in many ways. By using AI, you can generate more efficient, engaging, and personalized content, analyze more data and statistics, enhance fan interaction and participation, and improve accessibility and diversity.
