1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Now hasn't the AI and Wimbledon drama taught us exactly 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,960 Speaker 1: the same lesson we keep learning with technology and sport, 3 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:09,400 Speaker 1: which is that technology is great if it doesn't disrupt 4 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: the game. And if that is the lesson that we 5 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: keep learning, why don't we just learn it already? Wimbledon, 6 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,080 Speaker 1: What's happened? Has not used AI properly. The first problem 7 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,480 Speaker 1: that it had was at mister ball out by a foot. 8 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: The match got stopped. Everyone waited for four minutes, Yes, 9 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: the AI got it wrong. Match resumed. Turned out someone 10 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 1: turned the AI off. Then we're at the quarterfinals. AI 11 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 1: calls a ball out. It's not out, it's a meter 12 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,160 Speaker 1: inside the baseline. Match is stopped. Umpire calls the tech 13 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 1: people or whoever. Everyone waits, Yes, the ball was in. 14 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: After all match resumes. Turns out what happened was a 15 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 1: ball boy is crossing the net at exactly the moment 16 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,200 Speaker 1: that the ball was moving, and the AI can't handle 17 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: two movements at the same time players are cross The 18 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 1: waiting has broken the game's momentum. The crowd is crossed. 19 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: They have paid to watch a game, not to sit 20 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,599 Speaker 1: around waiting for TECH to be checked. On the other 21 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: side of the world, which is here. We're having a 22 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: similar discussion again. We're complaining again about the TMO in 23 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: last weekend's test involving itself too much. Even Wayne Barnes, yes, 24 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,199 Speaker 1: Wayne Barnes, is complaining that TMO is ruining the continuity 25 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 1: of the game. Other sports have already learned this lesson right. 26 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: League has limited what the bunker can look at. Football 27 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 1: is thinking about limiting the var ice. Hockey has limited 28 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: the video review, same with volleyball. They all know what 29 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: Wimbledon hasn't quite managed to do and what rugby seems 30 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 1: unable to accept, which is technology is great, but do 31 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: not let it disrupt the game. Don't let it keep 32 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: the fans waiting for more from the Mic Asking Breakfast. 33 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: Listen live to News Talks a B from six am weekdays, 34 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: or follow the podcast on iHeartRadio.
