From AI to Instant Replay: The Technology Behind the Olympics

The Olympics features over 11,000 athletes competing in 32 sports, attracting an audience of more than 10 million. In this episode, Charlie Ebersol, co-founder of the Alliance of American Football and Infinite Athlete, explores how new innovations like AI and bespoke broadcasting technologies are shaping the future of sports. Charlie also reflects on the storytelling legacy of his father, Dick Ebersol, a legendary sports producer who transformed how we experience the Olympics. We discuss the importance of making sports more accessible and engaging through technology that enhances, rather than distracts from, the human stories at the heart of the games. Whether you're a tech enthusiast or a sports fan, this episode offers a unique look at the convergence of these two worlds.
