AI is increasingly playing a critical role in enhancing the sports fan experience. From personalized content to virtual and augmented reality experiences, AI is transforming the way fans engage with their favorite sports and teams. As the role of AI in sports continues to grow, it has the potential to deliver new fan experiences, creating more meaningful and interactive ways to connect with the games, teams and players they love. WSC Sports, and its AI technology, is at the heart of this revolution, transforming the way the biggest rights holders in sports create and distribute video content in real-time.
Cloud-based services are the perfect place to process large amounts of sports-related data and then use that data as the starting point for a number of advanced automated services. The potential is there for automated publishing and content creation, automated camera movement and audio mixing, and much, much more. We'll discuss the current state of AI, the cloud, and automated production as well as debate where things are headed.

Friday 24 February 15:00 - 15:30
Speakers Corner, Grand Ballroom
Video games have captivated people all over the world. It is the largest entertainment medium globally by revenue size, outsizing TV, Music, and Movies combined. Over 3 billion people play games, ranging from casuals filling their downtime to professionals chasing millions in prizes, transfers, and sponsorship. A substantial amount of them not only play but also watch, a behavior very similar to sports fans. In a matter of seconds, they copy the moves of pro players to their own play, instant feedback never seen in conventional sports. Game is a new frontier that sports industry veterans can capitalize on, but speed is essential as new entrants are clawing their way in.
