As someone who loves playing and watching tennis games 🎾 and somebody building in the #AI space I am quite intrigued by this news 🗞️ 𝐖𝐢𝐦𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐝𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐣𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 147 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 Wimbledon, one of the most prestigious tennis tournaments in the world, is set to undergo a significant transformation in its officiating system by replacing all 300 line judges with an AI-driven electronic line-calling system starting next year. The All England Club (AEC), which organizes Wimbledon, has announced that it will implement a fully electronic line-calling system for the 2025 Championships. This decision follows a successful trial during the 2023 tournament, where electronic line calling was used on all courts. The move aims to enhance accuracy and efficiency in officiating, minimizing human error and disputes over calls. Reasons for the Change: 1. Technological Advancements: The introduction of AI and advanced technology has made replacing human officials with machines feasible. The electronic system is designed to deliver precise calls in real time, which can significantly improve the flow of matches. 2. Consistency and Fairness: By eliminating human judges, the AEC aims to provide a more consistent and fair playing environment. Electronic systems are not subject to fatigue or bias, which can sometimes affect human judgment. 3. Operational Efficiency: The integration of AI can streamline operations at Wimbledon, reducing the need for extensive training and management of line judges. The new electronic line-calling system will utilize advanced cameras and algorithms to monitor the ball's trajectory and determine whether it lands in or out. Similar technology has been successfully employed in other major tournaments, including the US Open and Australian Open, where it has garnered positive feedback from players and officials alike. Players' Perspectives: Many players have expressed support for electronic line calling due to its potential for increased accuracy. However, some traditionalists lament the loss of human oversight, arguing that line judges contribute to the sport's integrity and character. Officials' Concerns: Current line judges have voiced concerns about job security and the implications of AI on sports officiating as a whole. The AEC has stated that they will work with affected officials to explore alternative roles within tennis. As Wimbledon prepares for this transition, it will be crucial to monitor its impact on players, officials, and the overall experience of one of tennis's most cherished tournaments.

What's Happening with #AI Apps? Sonya Huang Pat Grady Imagine you want to start a business in AI. What layer of the stack do you target? Do you want to compete on infra? Good luck beating NVIDIA and the hyperscalers. Do you want to compete on the model? Good luck beating OpenAI and Mark Zuckerberg. Do you want to compete on apps? Good luck beating corporate IT and global systems integrators. Oh. Wait. That actually sounds pretty doable! 👍 Foundation models are magic, but they're also messy.

These are opportunities in the application layer. Two years ago, many application layer companies were derided as "just a wrapper on top of GPT-3." Today those wrappers turn out to be one of the only sound methods to build enduring value. What began as "wrappers" have evolved into "cognitive architectures." great write up by Sequoia team 💯 https://lnkd.in/gP5esGGD

I wrote on Substack about building AI native products - AI needs new interfaces, not just 'AI inside' old systems. AI tools need to exploit what’s uniquely possible with AI, like learning patterns, automating complex workflows, or personalizing interactions in real-time, to offer a radically different experience from traditional software. a new UI/UX if you will... When building AI native products you have think about how you’re approaching this from first principles—rethinking tools for customers and not just trying to make the existing saas tools better.  gAI ventures FastTrackr AI Kushal Prakash Rahul Mathur Patrick Collison Ilya Sutskever @Andrej Karpathy Veda Narayanan
