Maybe in the Matrix world they create for us the Cats win every game. If so, sign me up!!
Would you favor using AI for referees?

Now there comes a point where the sport is unrecognizable. When I can no longer throw a brick thru my tv when a real life ref makes a terrible call, we will have reached that point. Baseball now is at that point with the universal dh and pitch clock. Communist conspiracies to make us weak!
Actually holding refs accountable when cheating is obvious and a lot of the BS would go away. We don’t need AI, we need accountability.
Have a whole committee that investigates possible cheating. First strike is a hefty fine and 2nd strike is fired and possibly jail time since it’s interfering with betting. I guarantee you would see a fair game called and would be a totally different look to the game than what we get today.

Cal would figure out a way to pi$$ off the algorithm.
That may be the funniest post on here in a long time
Oh, I think they would....they would control the programmers. A little code adjustment here and there and there's your point spread or your win/loss.
Shockcollars for the officials and coaches have two shocks per half.
Kinda like challenging a call.....only better.
Don’t worry there will be a brick throwing app that simulates a real brick smashing into a TV.
But don’t download the free version, it’s full of dumbass ads.
The problem is, you still have to have the human element to program the AI. Who's to say an unscrupulous programmer wouldn't weigh the calls. Something along the lines of: AI must be 95% certain of a foul before calling a foul on team A, but only 75% sure before calling a foul on team B. I'd still be leary of gamblers and such finding ways to manipulate the software.
Why not have AI monitor and eliminate stupid posts. It would cut down on a lot of wasted reading.
All I ask for is the folks in the striped shirts to be fair and consistent. I know they're not going to get every call right or be the call I want, because nobody's perfect. But if they would just be fair and consistent in how games are called, I could live with the rest. That's still probably asking too much though.
Just as long as John Higgins didn't get to program the AI that was reffing the UK games.
This is an interesting proposition.
If (or more appropriately when) technology advances to the point that you can experience a seemingly completely real world via wearable technology, would a sports fan be interested in checking out of the real world and diving into a simulated world where their favorite team never loses?
If it were indistinguishable from the real world, would it matter if it was real or not?
I can see AI “outpainting” historical games. It’s probably already possible for those savvy enough. Imagine watching the 92 Duke game and seeing Laettner’s shot clang off the rim and then him crumbling in agony as Coach K sneers in the background.
They just need to give coaches a couple of challenges for anything per half AND if they are successful they don’t lose one. Then track which refs are consistently awful (we know the ones) and do something about it. Had this been in place we easily win the Wisconsin game in 2015 as well as the UNC/Monk/Higgins debacle.

Never tell me the odds.
But, I will have another slice of pi.
Maybe a more interesting question is "Would you favor AI as an in-game Head Coach?".
I can't see anyway AI could do practices and player development. But as far as putting in the right combinations of guys, and calling instant plays, why not?

Hack it. They will probably be the ones setting it up from the get go. Would be just as biased as a game official.
I would like to see coaches challenge's be part of the college game. I like them in the nba game, the reviews don't take very long either.
"It" was but this is different by design. @christophero was intentionally saying the odds of AI reffing happening/working right are just a little worse than the odds of successfully navigating an asteroid field in stop-motion with a little plastic starship.
I've done a lot of image recognization and you're correct. However it could be used as an aid for the officials. Providing a percentage of correctness of what AI found. I'ld start with flopping and charges lol. The officials don't always get the correct camera angle either.
