In this episode we sat down with IBM's Sam Seddon to discuss the report he authored and has just been announced at the AI Summit, part of London Tech Week. We managed to speak to Sam a week prior to the announcement to dig a bit deeper into report and what insights it brought out that might be of interest to brands and rights holders alike.
We touch on subjects including; the importance of people and not just technology in the future, how sports will be competing with sectors such as banking for key staff in the future, how their partnership with Wimbledon has evolved over the last 29 years, before finishing off with what the future looks like with technologies such as AI and Virtual Reality on the horizon.
