Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, and Quantum Computing in Sports

This chapter examines the exciting possibilities promised for the sports environment by new technologies such as big data, AI, and quantum computing, discussed in turn. Together and separately, the technologies’ capacity for more precise data collection and analysis can enhance sports-related decision-making and increase organization performance in many areas. Torgler also emphasizes technologies’ limitations—and considerations like privacy and inefficiencies—by reflecting on the nature of sport. Finally, it explores the factors beyond technology that influence individual’s deep involvement in and emotional attachment to sports and sports-related events.
