The prestigious Wimbledon tennis tournament will use artificial intelligence (AI) to make line calls for the first time this year, breaking with a long-standing tradition of using human line judges. The AI system, developed by tech company Hawk-Eye, will use cameras and machine learning algorithms to track the ball’s movement and determine whether it lands in or out. This move aims to increase accuracy and reduce human errors in line calls. However, some players and fans have expressed concerns about the potential loss of human elements and the impact on the tournament’s traditional atmosphere. The tournament organizers have assured that the AI system will be thoroughly tested and that human officials will still oversee the matches. The use of AI in sports officiating is a growing trend, with other major tournaments also exploring similar technologies to enhance the accuracy and fairness of decision-making.
