In a world overshadowed by the rapid deterioration of its climate, AI engineers are beginning to apply machine learning technology to issues of environmental justice and crisis. In California, where wildfires have ravaged over 570,000 acres of land and forced 41,000 evacuations already this summer, AI is being used to prevent and monitor forest fires throughout the state.
Pickleball’s popularity is skyrocketing, and the subsequent ER visits have spiked a staggering 88% right alongside it. What if a quick courtside video could flag risky knee angles before they sideline you? Explore how AI body pose analysis AI can turns your phone into a personal coach, cutting injury risk and fast-tracking rehab so you can stay in the game.
Professional athletes have long had the advantage of analysis from expensive body worn sensors. AI models, when applied to readily available video, however, offer much promise to more cost conscious amateur athletes. We ask the question, can we better an individual goalie’s chances of stopping a penalty kick with advanced AI?
Can amateur athletes improve their performance using artificial intelligence and nothing more than a smart phone? As an AI practitioner and a dedicated runner, I decided to find out leveraging body pose estimation, an advanced AI technology that automatically generates a skeleton for people in each frame of a video.
