As the 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend begins in Indianapolis, the league is once again at the cutting edge of technology, introducing its latest innovation: NB-AI. This new platform was unveiled at the 24th annual NBA All-Star Technology Summit and it promises to transform the way fans watch live games. NB-AI is an NBA-trained voice assistant that uses artificial intelligence to tailor the watching experience for the fans.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama introduced this ground-breaking technology, demonstrating its capacity to replicate live games in a variety of forms. One of NB-AI’s distinguishing characteristics is the usage of generative AI, which allows fans to personalize their viewing experience. Whether spectators want to view highlights, critical plays, or the full game from a new angle, NB-AI can reproduce it to their liking. For example, spectators may watch a game as if it were a dramatic film, with all the cinematic views and plot components.
