Due to its widespread appeal, high demand, and abundance of related data, sports video is a prime candidate for innovation. Cognitive technology is teed up to enhance the viewer experience and maximize advertising revenue. What&#8217;s more, AI technology can disrupt the game itself. Here are the three main players in sports broadcasting that stand to gain the most from cognitive advancements in video technology &#8230;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Read that and realize, the future of spectator sports is going to offer you something different, for sure. <\/p>\n<p>I love stories like that, the ones that tell us about the future. I especially like the ones that tell us about the future we&#8217;re enjoying right now. You see those a lot in medicine, of course. And we think, <em>Wow, that&#8217;s some impressive development<\/em> or maybe <em>This is going to be so important for my neighbor who is dealing with this.<\/em> We seldom ever think about the real people on the other side of the equation. <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a professor who was an important part of the BRCA1 cancer testing series.

And, of course, we had our suitcases. My mom was carrying hers, and she was already fairly frail.<\/p>\n<p>So Emily and my mother and I were standing in the line, and I said, &#8220;Mom, can you make it down to your plane on your own?&#8221; Bear in mind, there were no checkpoints in those days, but there were, of course, very long corridors.<\/p>\n<p>She said, &#8220;No.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So I said to Emily, &#8220;I&#8217;m going to need to go with Grandmom down to her plane.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And my mother shrieked, &#8220;You can&#8217;t leave that child here alone!&#8221; (Fair enough.)<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly this unmistakable voice above and behind me said, &#8220;Emily and I will be fine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>And you&#8217;re going to need to read the whole thing and the part I&#8217;ve left you is a terrific tease.<\/p>\n<p>It is a great read.
