Tennis fans shouldn’t be surprised to see IBM’s Watson bringing even more #AI commentary to the 2024 US Open. It’s been a partner with the tournament so long, it could be playing doubles. Partners since 1990, the U.S. Tennis Association and #IBM's new features include using generative AI to create real-time match reports and AI-generated long-form articles reviewed by USTA’s editorial team. This year’s tournament, which began Monday, will also give fans more frequent AI voice commentary using IBM’s latest AI models to power more expressive and contextual insights. Meanwhile, a redesigned SlamTracker offers in-depth analysis before, during and after each match. In this piece by Marty Swant, we speak to Brian Ryerson, randy picht, Kristi Kolski, and Monica Ellingson.
