Avast, ye scallywags! The Premier League be summonin' the mystical workings of AI to catch those sneaky landlubbers in offsides shenanigans! Aye, now even the pitch be crawlin' with clever contraptions makin' sure no pirate be plunderin' the game unfairly! Arrr, what a jolly sight!
Ahoy, me hearties! The grand spectacle o’ the Premier League be settin’ sail this week, with a swashbucklin’ new contraption to help spot when landlubbers be offside! This here clever contraption, known as Semi-Assisted Offside Technology (SAOT), be crafted by the tech wizards at Genius Sports, and replaces them fancy 4K cameras with a fleet o’ iPhones placed 'round the pitch like treasure chests on a map!With these trusty iPhones, the GeniusIQ AI be collectin’ scads of data, watchin’ players like a hawk on a treasure hunt. It be gatherin’ between 7,000 to 10,000 data points per match, creatin’ 3D models of players that even show their wee fingers! Now that’s some fancy footwork, I tell ye!
Though this newfangled system promises to cut the delays that plague old VAR, the real test be in live battles on the pitch. Will it stand tall against the traditional ways, or will it be another ship lost to the storm? With the globe's eyes upon it, if SAOT proves its mettle, it could change the game for good! But remember, me mateys, at the end of the day, it be the human referees who raise the flag, for good or ill!
