Here's where the #AI opportunity lies in sports ⤵️
As guests of the Panam Sports Athletes Forum, we were asked to break down the latest developments in computer science, explain the explosion in #genAI and lay out the possibilities for athletes and organizations across the Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC).
Who better to take on the task but Gonzalo Zarza? 💡
From raising athletes' profile to improving training techniques 🏋♂️ in real-time, the applications are real, applicable and affordable, giving an unprecedented opportunity for smaller institutions to reduce competitive gaps to bigger players 🤼♂️
With access to more measurable and actionable data than ever before, the stars are aligning for AI in #sports to take the next big leap 🤸♀️ 💫
Our thanks to the team at #PanamSportsAlejandro Goycoolea for the invitation, Fernando Palomo for the coordination and to Comité Olímpico Argentino for the time spent with the Sportian team during our visit.

And this is where the opportunity lives. And there is an interesting intersection between these three parts. One is that everything is measurable and right now the lack of data is not an issue. The problem right now is which data we should use for the different purposes. Analytics data, big data, you name it. The second part is that right now, and this is very important in sports and you probably know, that with the IoT and wearables, the advantage is that those devices are cheap right now also give us data for different purposes. So, we have a lot of data. Everything is measurable. We can get data in real time. And that's really important for sports and for some of the tools. We will discuss this a little bit in in a few minutes. And the third one is that now the data is actionable. And I will give you an example of this. The intersection of these three things is what has been fueling AI. Moving forward and this is this is an example and I will put a note on this. Right now everything is tangible, right? And if everything is tangible, we can interact with that. Airbnb is probably one of the best examples of that. They have made tangible our houses. So we can interact with that with our software and sell in those spaces. There are opportunities in in that space.
Is always super intresting to listen to Gonzalo Zarza!
