It seems that artificial intelligence (AI) is always just five years
away, but it never arrives. Recently, however, developments have made
the practical utility of game theory a genuine reality. Will sport
provide the petri dish in which AI will prove itself? What do domain

stadium design in the future? Written by leading experts in both sports
management and AI, AI for Sports begins to answer these and many
other questions on the future of AI for sports.
