AI Steps In for Spain’s Squad Decisions
The Spanish national football team just got a little help from the future. After Pedri’s unfortunate injury, Artificial Intelligence has stepped in to pick his replacement. According to a system developed by Olocip, AI has named Edu Exposito, the talented Espanyol midfielder, as the best fit for Spain’s squad. Exposito’s performance scored a solid 3.86 on the AI’s ranking, putting him just ahead of Arsenal’s Martín Zubimendi, who clocked in at 3.80.
Is AI the New Football Scout?
The use of AI in selecting players brings a new twist to team management. No more heated debates in smoky backrooms—or at least, maybe fewer. The numbers don’t lie, and in this case, neither does the algorithm. Edu Exposito’s rise to the top of the AI’s list shows just how much technology is changing the beautiful game. Sorry, Zubimendi, maybe next time the robots will be on your side!
It’s inspiring and maybe a bit unsettling to see artificial intelligence making such crucial decisions in sports. Will coaches soon take a backseat to computers? Only time (and a few more injuries) will tell.
