“We’ve moved to blocking various AI platformsโฆto somewhat force our employees to use our own โฃplatform,” explained a clubโ spokesperson. The decision toโฃ buildโ internally wasn’t โขmet with anticipated resistance. “We thought there would โขbe a little more resistance,but that wasn’t the case. The employees are happyโค that theyโฃ haveโค a flexible and simple solution,” the spokesperson added.โ
The โขclub is currently rolling out the AI tools across โall departments, signaling a broader commitment to integrating artificial intelligence into itsโฃ operations.The initiative was first reported byโ BILD and highlights the increasing โimportance of AI in โขprofessional sports, extending beyond player performance analysis to encompass internal business โขfunctions.
