Sports analytics may be outnumbered when it comes to artificial intelligence

[ad_1] When it comes to artificial intelligence, the sports analytics crowd may be outnumbered. The people who killed the sacrifice bunt and turned NBA games into a 3-point shooting contest aren't quite sure what will happen when AI fully invades sports — whether in the front office or on the field.“I've been in computer science a long time. This is the first thing we don't understand,” Philadelphia 76ers team president Daryl Morey said Friday at the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference. “That's mind-boggling,” Morey said. “We've actually now created something, with 0's and 1's, where every step we've made the creation, but we don't understand the results.” The MIT conference annually brings together thousands of number-crunching sports nerds, who turn their data models loose on hot to...

Pokemon Go Maker Niantic Closes Studio, Cancels Games

[ad_1] Pokemon Go maker Niantic Inc. is closing its Los Angeles game studio and canceling NBA and Marvel titles in a restructuring aimed at stabilizing the company's finances.“We have allowed our expenses to grow faster than revenue,” Chief Executive Officer John Hanke wrote in an email to employees. “New projects in games and platform have not delivered revenues commensurate with those investments.” The closely held San Francisco-based metaverse darling said it will shut down its NBA All-World game and halt work on the upcoming Marvel World of Heroes. About 230 employees will lose their jobs, Hanke said. He added that the restructuring will bring expenses and revenue “back in line while preserving our core assets.”Last year, Niantic canceled four projects and cut 8% of its staff. In Ma...
