You wouldn’t train without a mirror. You wouldn’t spar without reviewing footage. So why are fighters still training without real data?
This is the comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about AI in the combat sports industry. Most people think that AI is replacing humans, it’s fraudulent, and evil. This article’s goal is to demystify what AI is and make it incredibly easy for everyone to understand. In reality, not all AI is the same. Some AI replaces people while some makes people better. This article’s goal is to shed light on how to use AI the right way.
What is AI? Artificial intelligence has been around since the 1950’s. AI is known as any computer system that simulates human thinking. This can be as basic as the ‘Text Suggestion’ button when you misspell a word in Google Docs or as advanced as Open AI’s Chat GPT. AI is an incredibly broad field with many different disciplines. The AI you fear is not the AI that’s changing combat sports. One replaces humans—the other makes them unstoppable.
