AI in football and how it is changing the game

[love4ffc]

I was listening to the BBC earlier today and they had an interesting discussion on how Liverpool has become the first team to use AI in helping with set pieces.  Mainly in helping with corner kicks and how players are being positioned for defending.  It makes me consider just how far clubs will go to use AI in other aspects of football.  I'm guessing clubs already use AI to help with tracking stats and predicting how players will do.

Other things I wonder if AI is used for or shortly will be used for. 
- analyzing games and breaking the data down into useful information
- predicting game strategies on how to defeat other clubs
- negotiating player contracts so that clubs get the best deals

I would imagine that someone like Tony Khan would love AI and would use it at every possible chance to gain an advantage over other clubs. 

So, I would be interested in knowing what you all think, is AI a good thing or a bad thing.  What other avenues do you think the club could use AI to gain an advantage for game results or that would benefit the club?
