[ Esp - Eng ] La inteligencia artificial en la NFL | Opinión 🏈 Artificial intelligence in the NFL | Opinion
The topic of artificial intelligence is, at this moment, occupying miles of ink, bits and logarithms, therefore, sports in general could not be the exception, and much less, the number one team sport in the American union, as we all know, NFL soccer. Artificial intelligence, in our opinion, is here to stay and transform the way we see and perceive the world; AI is taking the world of sports to an unprecedented level, for better or worse, we do not know, time will be the judge.
The arrival of AI in the NFL is not new, it has been brewing since this technology practically hatched, because American soccer has always been a kind of testing laboratory for sports, technology, health, financial management, marketing and advertising companies, as well as a long list of suppliers and investors. The large amount of data produced by this sport is very large, so managing it has become a very profitable business. As we know, American soccer is one of the sports that causes the most injuries to players, so the issue of prevention, treatment, recovery, and disease prediction was the gateway for AI to enter the gridiron.
The case of the NFL is a fairly representative sample, since 2016, the largest professional soccer league in the world, proposed to invest part of its astronomical profits in research to develop protection in the part of the body that receives more impacts, such as neck, back and head injuries, where these injuries and disabilities, showed alarming figures, we are talking about a dangerous 60%. Among the numerous suppliers of the NFL, there is a company from Seattle, specialized in providing services and products focused on sports biomedical protection from the hand of AI, the company in question is Vicis, who in 2017, developed the Zero1 Youth helmet, which was approved by the NCAA and the NFL to be used by college players and professional rookies, having this helmet, an unprecedented success against its biggest competitor and leader for more than 50 years, the dangerous Riddell helmet.
The @NFL & @NFLPA worked collaboratively to test & rank 41 total helmet models, including three new models never tested before by the league.

From 2019, the same company Vicis, will revolutionize the protection in the NFL, with the development from AI, biomedicine, nanomaterials used by NASA, medical personnel and players, this time hand in hand with the sports giant NIKE, exclusive supplier of the NFL to date, by launching the current helmet to the market, its name is: Vicis Zero2 R Trench, said implement had the endorsement of the NFL and the players union (NFLPA), as well as Hall of Fame legends: Roger Staubach, Jerry Rice and players: Aaron Rodgers , Doug Baldwin, Russell Wilson and Alex Smith, who used them in each of their seasons. Among the novelties of the aforementioned helmet are: Impossibility of deformation, except for the outer layer, which absorbs forces of up to 9 G at all points of possible impacts, absorption in tests of 100% of the impacts, according to the position of the player, this will have a specific helmet, is 15% lighter than its competitors, also has the largest horizontal and vertical field of vision in the industry.
The impact of AI in the NFL is of great proportions, this is due, in part, to the immense volumes of data, or what technologists have called Big Data, the set of data generated by a company, which can be organized or not, with this data and AI American soccer in general, has a powerful technological weapon to monitor and develop the performance of all players, in order to create new variants in tactics and strategies, so that they are more effective. Today we see how teams can visualize in real time (through Surface tablets, provided by Microsoft, in a strategic alliance with another giant, Amazon and its Big Data division, AWS), the routes of displacement on the field of play of the offense and defense, thanks to another advanced technology that emerges with the emergence of AI, we are talking about VR or virtual reality, which is used in the NFL for training in each position and development of new plays and their existing or not existing variants in the team's playbook.

As we have been able to see, AI is gaining more ground within sports, especially in American football, where new technologies are developed at lightning speed, where AI is the beacon that emits the most signals, but not everything looks good. pink color, in the application of the AI we see flats, advantages and disadvantages. Below we will present our personal perspective on the matter. Advantages: 1st the analysis of the data, will help the coaches and offensive and defensive coordinators to make better decisions, where they could predict, depending on the player and the team, the plays they make the most, 2nd The potential of AI for injury prevention is unquestionable, knowing the movement patterns of each player through 3D meshes in the material with which the uniforms and protective equipment are made, 3rd continuous performance improvement , shortening the learning curve for rookies and elite players in real time, since 3 seasons each franchise has geolocation sensors in sports clothing, as well as in each movement of the ovoid via radio frequency (RFID) allowing precise tracking of players. protagonists on the pitch.
Regarding the disadvantages or opportunities for improvement we have: 1st and in our opinion one of the most important, the dehumanization of the sport, by taking away options from the players in decision-making, in In other words, the brain test could be seriously affected, 2nd, the dependence on AI would, in our opinion, make a player not see the natural conditions he has for the sport, and he would act differently than expected, players could get used to playing only if they have in advance how they should act in any game situation, we believe that the game would lose something of the personal game, we believe so, and the 3rd opportunity for improvement has to do with the pocket, In other words, the cost, there will be teams that find it easier than others to implement AI at all levels of the organization, and there will also be others, which there are, who will be at a competitive disadvantage and unequal due to having little space in their or budget, which could lead to limitations in the use of AI.
Finally, we would like to note that we see the use of AI in American soccer as the second biggest technological revolution to date. We believe and we are sure that the sport will be more competitive, if all franchises have equal access to this powerful tool, the NFL operations management will have to arbitrate this scenario, we would not like to implement a VAR 100% made with AI, in fact there is already a project in the NFL for consideration, in what we totally disagree, is with the misuse that can be given to this tool to favor some and cancel others. So far this publication, dear readers, we appreciate your reading and comments, as always we will respond to them as soon as possible.
