When the 2024-2025 Premier League season begins this weekend, referees will be equipped with an advanced AI tool designed to enhance the accuracy of offside calls.
The semi-automatic offside technology (SAOT), which debuted at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, employs sophisticated tracking to deliver precise offside decisions.
Clubs voted unanimously to introduce the technology at a meeting in April, where the league officials said the technology will “provide quicker and consistent” identifications of potential offsides. (AI Business)
