Exciting news in sports tech! 🏅 NBCUniversal, in partnership with Huge, recently launched #OLI, their new AI-powered chatbot for the 2024 Paris Games. OLI helps users navigate the Olympics programming, including: • Personalized viewing schedules • Real-time event information • Multi-platform accessibility This AI assistant promises to simplify the complex web of Olympic programming across NBC's channels and Peacock which has been criticized, both in the past and recently, for viewers getting overwhelmed by the sheer volume of content. However, we're curious about OLI's potential beyond basic scheduling. Could we see features like real-time medal counts, news, or even predictive analysis for upcoming events? It's a significant step forward but there's definitely room for growth. I'm happy with this addition and eager to see how NBCUniversal expands OLI's capabilities in the near future. What features would you like to see in an Olympic AI assistant? #AIinSports #Olympics2024 #NBCUniversal #OLI #BraiveMarketing #AIChatbot #AIAssistant

Here we go… the floodgates are opening (albeit with the talent’s permission, proper licensing terms and fees). But what happens when famous personalities are invented by AI from scratch without a definitive human model or someone else’s IP? Currently AI generated characters cannot be copyrighted, but when there is a will (and big money lobbying) there is a way… Stay tuned!

'AI-generated Al Michaels to provide daily recaps during 2024 Summer Olympics' "NBCUniversal announced plans to use an AI-generated clone of famous sports commentator Al Michaels' voice to narrate daily streaming video recaps of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, which start on July 26." "NBC says it has created a "high-quality AI re-creation" of Michaels' voice, trained on Michaels' past NBC appearances to capture his distinctive delivery style. "Michaels, who is 79 years old, shared his initial skepticism about the project in an interview with Vanity Fair, as NBC News notes. After hearing the AI version of his voice, which can greet viewers by name, he described the experience as "astonishing" and "a little bit frightening." "NBC estimates that the system could generate nearly 7 million personalized variants of the recaps across the US during the games, pulled from the network's 5,000 hours of live coverage. Using the system, each Peacock user will receive about 10 minutes of personalized highlights." #NBC #Olympics #AI #artificialintelligence #sports
